BISD BOARD PRESIDENT, LOCAL GADFLY ERASMO CASTRO, DIES

(Ed.'s Note: We have just received word that Brownsville Independent School District board president has lost his battle with pancreatic cancer. 

The last time we talked to him he said he would remain board president "until the end of my term, or the end of my life, whichever comes first."

Whether you agreed with his politics or viewpoints, the Cheez was a player in local politics and ran for numerous local, county, and state positions and always attracted a core of loyal followers.

Although hospitalized, Castro had attended the two previous board meetings through Zoom. He was unable to participate at Thursday night's special meeting due to to his grave condition.

A divided (3-3) board will probably not be able to make an appointment and it is possible that an election to serve his unexpired term will be in a November election. That's another $200,000 expense for the cash-strapped district.

But that's for the living to decide. Right now we send our deepest condolences to his friends and family. RIP. Peace be with you, Brother Erasmo.)

Brownsville is a much better place without Brother Erasmo. The black candle and ribbon to me represents to where he is going. Ojala que le valla bien al hijo de su.

Pancreatic cancer is undefeated. Incurable.

In the end, only God will judge us. Pray for his family and those who loved him.

To some he was a burden to his family, a person that did forgery, fraud, took pictures of minors, went into schools to groom boys, was found drunk in Morrison Road, and was caught with a minor but the parents of the kids said all was cool. To others he was a leader, the President of the School Board, el juez de patineta that married couples in the middle of the bridge, a pastor, an influencer, the person that took BPUB to court and a communicator with his Chismes and all his followers.

CASTRO lost the chance to make a real difference. His weight loss was not normal. It had the tell-tale signs of cancer. Castro cared more about his looks than his health. It is true pancreatic cancer is almost always terminal. Had he paid attention to his body, he could have been a force of education and signs of cancer. He died as he live, self-absorbed. Maybe his family can now be that force of education about the signs of cancer.. For now his family deserves peace

Frank stfu. That's where you got your start. Talking smack about Erasmo. Both you, Cheeze, all these 956 characters are mamones but like to be painted as heros or fighters. But you Frank are the worst of the worst, you don't even live here, no mas hablando el sico como un vieja que tiene sangre pesada.

Whatever this man's faults, he was possibly the only local politician in a long time that was real and always spoke his mind and, as is contrary to local politicians' prime ambition, did not enrich himself monetarily . Past and present BISD school board members cannot stand up to this man. They all knew that he was a force to be reckoned with. May he Rest In Peace.

It is true, the page started as an anti "brownsville cheezmeh" page, I made no secret of it, but times changed, eventually we saw eye to eye on many things and agreed to disagree on other things, but I realized he did care for Brownsville and always tried to fight the good fight. Yes, he did say many stupid things in the past and acted that way plenty of times and was at times "self centered" but nobody is perfect. At least I don't hide behind an anonymous profile like the p*ssy ass coward you are, that's all you will be, hiding behind a keyboard like banging your chest. At least I never made any secret of who I am online. So sit your ass down.

Aw we all know you lurk online putito. Who are you telling to sit down pussy boy? Projecting much? You constantly seek validation, attention online, allegedly messed around on your wife, subjected your family to Ron̈a, suck on Bronco's hot dog all day when your posts slack on views, let's not forget the red chones, among many of your shenanigans. Erasmo may not have been a perfect angel but he didn't need to resort half the shit you do. Suck on that Frank.

He was a perverted joto who always denied being a joto. He was not after money. He was after young male ass.

How naive can you be?
