To me, it shows how little society really cares about people with mental health issues. She does have a very tender heart … but anything she says is certifiably schizophrenic … she’s not some crazy conservative.
Ogallala, Neb. resident Patrick Svoboda • Discussing his sister Jane’s recent viral video, in which she said a number of disjointed things during a Lincoln City Council meeting, mostly about homosexuality. Many saw it as hate speech: The truth is that Jane Svoboda has schizophrenia, and is legally listed as under protection by the state of Nebraska. Her brother Patrick is her conservator. Jane is listed as a registered lobbyist at the state capitol and regularly testifies at Lincoln City Council meetings. A lot of people posted this last night; including us. It’s worth noting the full story. (thanks Emily Ingram)
