Within the last week, Place 2 Brownsville Independent School District candidate Erasmo Castro has garnered the endorsement of Cameron County District Attorney Luis V. Saenz and the Texas Valley Educator's Association.
And while the above have been posted on the candidate's Facebook page and other social media, some past Facebook postings by Castro disparaging BISD students, parents and the people on Brownsville in general, have also been disseminated far and wide.
In them, Castro – as far back as December 2013 and 2014 – when he unsuccessfully ran for the school district – likens little girls to "whores" and local youth as "hoodrats" and "ghetto wercos and wercas" and states that "prego" women are "yucky."
The fliers have been passed around many of of the other candidates' events. At one gathering recently, groups of participants gathered in circles and gasped as they read the eight posts aloud that had been printed on the hoja suelta.
"Parents please don't send your precious little princess out into public dressed like whores...it's aggravating to see /listen to viejos cochinos being pervs..."
Another on posted on Christmas Eve 2014 states: "Never in my lifetime have I seen in Brownsville so many ghetto wercos/wercas...if Brownsville is the poorest city in America now, God help us when these idiots become adults..."
And: "Is it wrong for me to say that I think prego (pregnant) women look yucky even though I think it every time I see one?"
And, referring to the rioting by blacks in Ferguson, Mo., after the fatal shooting of Michael Brown by white police officer Darren Wilson on August 9:
"I would be be sure more sympathetic toward the situation in Ferguson if looting and all Sharpton roaches weren't part of the equation..."
And, referring to local families on social services, : "If you get food stamps and live in housing and you get the iPhone 6 before me, I'm inboxing your social worker...."
"I wonder what percentage of students at the BISD are undocumented..."
Then, as if to double down on the provocative and controversial statements, later the same day, he writes: "Note: If people think that because I am running I am going to apologize to all the rascuachos, scum, hoodrat ghetto people that are a cancer in our community because they have been bached on this page, then they need to take a seat honey pies..cause it ain't coming..."
Castro is running against incumbent Carlos Elizondo and former trustee Herman Otis Powers. On of Power's supporters say that voters in the barrios were angered when she showed them Castro's Facebook comments.
"Can you imagine if Otis had posted that?," she asked. "He would be strung up from the nearest mesquite. I've always said that if you post on Facebook, it's going to come back and bite you in the ass. School kids have been passing them all around. I wonder how his supporters feel about this?"

We need Otis to keep his family rich in the BISD, look around Otis and smell the beans rotting in the BISD. cause Otis should know, he has been the part of the problem.
Voting for Elizondo, Juan! Post this, bro!!! ;LOL
The "WHITE HORSE" does not agree with Castro, a BISD candidate. The "WHITE HORSE" cautions you about Castro's mentality. Be cautious.
Thank you Mr. Montoya for your commitment to legitimate and balance reporting. Erasmo has downplayed and refused to address his thoughts. They are real and not fabricated and regardless of context sound ugly. He's touting transparency. Have at it.
You're endorsing Tad Hasse, Juan. Check out his Twitter account for racist shit. Oh, wait, he's locked it.
Im voting for Otis because he stinks less than all the others combined.
We are with the "WHITE HORSE" not Castro !!!
im voting for elizondo, at least he hasnt been convicted of a crime unlike el marrano de monte.
I'm with Erasmo right now and he says this is all taken out of context and nothing will stop him from winning.
Castro is just running because he THINKS he's going to get free cafeteria food!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is serious, not some popularity contest that caters to whatever little bullshit item that is being discussed on social media on any particular day. This is real, vote for someone who is experienced and knows how to run a business and create a budget and stick with it. We are talking about an over 1/2 billion dollar annual budget for the BISD. Vote for someone that is responsible, and not a criminal.
Someone challenged Erasmo in Jim's blog. He did not respond to a request for comment on his past shenanigans.
Pues no que muy transparent?
We in Hanna, Pace, Rivera, and Veterans support Erasmo.
Montoya, you are in The Mayor's payroll and we know it!
Any one who feels aggravated by some one calling them Whores, Hood rats or Ghetto People, is because they are, and are the kind of people that do not vote, so no problem with those Erasmo comments, honest educated people will be voting for him, we don't want girls dressed as whores or ghetto pachucos in our BISD Schools.

Nooooooo We Don't!!!!!!!
Juan,
Can this photo-op queen even hold office? Wasn't he convicted of a crime?
AS A PARENT OF BISD CHILDREN I DENOUNCE TVEA SUPPORTING A CANDIDATE WHO REFERS TO MY CHILD A WHORE AND HOODRAT!!!!! I WILL BE WRITING TO TEXAS ETHICS COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE THIS CANDIATE AND POLITICAL ASSOCIATION FINANCES!!!!!
Those of you voting for Erasmo are fine with him being a pedophyle I guess. He is a sick fat fuck and doesn't deserve to make decisions regarding children. He has hurt enough of Brownsville kids. The church his mom ran was a horrible place where kids fell victim to this pendejo. Wake up people!! Don't be so pendejos!!
i will not vote for him (EC)..... NO!!!
Find the White Horse!
Erasmo Castro is a fraud! His own family won’t even side with him. He lies and twists peoples’ words to make himself look good. He is always asking for handouts. He does not have a job that can support his life. He wants to get into BISD to get into vendors pockets because he really believes he can live off vendors handouts. Those at the forum yesterday saw how he kept slandering his opponents and the entire sitting school board. When someone told him the gloves are off in the campaign he right away called out “ you threatening me”. Seriously dude you can dish it out, but you can’t take it! Erasmo you are a fraud with a lot of emotional issues that you have never addressed. I am in total shock that educated professionals want to place you as their school board member. What on earth are these people thinking!!!
Todo joto erasmo. "He just threatened me!"
Parese como nombre, cabron.
I would not trust Erasmo to work serving popcorn at Cinemark. He is an Oxy-moron without the Oxy part.
OK, White Horse, we are with you. Tell us what to do!
All of us with the WHITE HORSE.
CCDA endorsed,please say it isn't so?
CCDA endorsing a convicted felon? Just not right?
If so, doesn't surprise? Democrats the way they are right now, will do anything to disrupt the workings of the government!
The corruption and nepotism continues in CC!
