1402: Judd Stone

Judd Stone was the Solicitor General of Texas. He defended the Texas abortion bounty to the Supreme Court by arguing that just knowing an abortion takes place causes such distress that it rises to a “tort of outrage.” Not only can someone whose feelings are hurt by hearing about an abortion, they can sue anyone involved, no matter how tenuous the link, for example. a taxi driving taking someone to a clinic. That guy. He was forced to resign amid allegations of sexual harassment from two women. The allegations are lurid as you can deduce from the headlines in the news stories. You can read the entirety in Brent Webster’s letter below.
1394: Nick Hacker

Nicholas Hacker is a former North Dakota state senator and served on the North Dakota Board of Higher Education. In 2016 while Hacker was on the Board of Higher Ed, Senator Ray Holmberg sent Hacker an e-mail describing a sexual encounter he had in Taiwan. Hacker did not forward that email to report inappropriate, likely illegal trafficking until after the investigation into Holmberg began in 2022. That is six years of failing to report Holmberg’s disgraceful conduct.

548: Texas Board of Education

The Texas Board of Education produced a revision of their Sex Education curriculum in 2020. They made Sex Ed an elective that was opt-in, not opt-out. Now students must get their parents signatures to learn about sexually transmitted diseases and sexual hygiene. It is no longer abstinence-only, allowing for teaching contraception methods. However, they are not allowed to teach about LGBTIQA students, gender identity, and, inexplicably, consent.
347: John Anthony

He worked there just a few months as he was fired after a staff party where he groped and assaulted several women. One of the incidents was caught on video. He was fired.
