Covid Psychosis

The mind boggles at the complete inability of this person, entrusted by a school district with the critical job of teaching children, to exercise the most basic rational examination of facts in order to make sensible decisions about her own family. And hers is, obviously from news accounts we see nearly every day, only one example of a deficiency that seems to afflict the teaching profession as a whole. See, for example, the current absurdity in Chicago.
All of us here are, as the saying now goes, “old enough to remember” when teachers saw preparing young people to learn and think for themselves as a critical part of their mission. Certainly there must still be teachers like that out there, but for the most part it seems that this sort of education is no longer considered necessary, or even desirable. The present course is unsustainable.

Threatening to put me in the trunk was a fairly routine line out of my mother, ca. 1970.

Does the child not have a father?

I believe she is Sarah Hadassah Beam, born in Harris County, Tx, 26 March 1980. She married Don Kelton Hendrix on 28 January 2008, divorced on 24 June 2011 (there being one child of the marriage). She married Colter Crossley on 22 October 2011 (he having divorced his previous lawful spouse in October 2010). The Texas divorce index is current only to the end of 2015; Mr. Crossley would appear to be resident in Sacramento, California, so it appears he’s history too. She was apparently married to a Mr. Knoff for a time ‘ere she married Don Kelton Hendrix.

Mr. Hendrix it would appear may be living in Centerville, Tx., about 120 miles from Houston. He was born in Houston on 26 October 1949. He’s been a busy man. He married in April 1972 to a woman of 19 and remained so for 17 years, siring 7 children. He married again in 1991 to a divorcee, age 34, who had one child; they evidently had one more before divorcing.

No telling what clansmen Beam may have done to Sarah, physically and emotionally.

Among Louis Ray Beam’s many marriages was one to this woman’s mother, Kara Giesenschlag. She was 16 and he was 31. They were divorced three years later, when their daughter was 19 months old. Kara Beam immediately remarried to a divorce named Kevin Card, age 25. Mr. Card committed suicide the following year. Kara G. married Larry Darrell Harmon at the end of 1987, legitimating their daughter Katie, who had been born that May. Mr. Harmon was then 29 years old; Katie was evidently the youngest of his five children. Mr. Harmon married Cheryl Vermilion Arnold in 2002 and was married to her at the time of his death in 2013; I cannot tell from the obituary if the newspaper staff are wretched transcriptionists or he really did confer on three of his four daughters misspelled names (and aesthetically unpleasant names to boot). Daughter Katie married a man named Jonathan Boren in September 2006, when she was 19; they were divorced in April 2009; they had one child.
