What my yahoos are up to.

I'm sure you have the usual collection of Tea Party grumps common almost everywhere. In my area, they're fighting against the school bond. They'll probably prevail, since we have a constitutional amendment that requires 60 percent to pass a bond measure. Anyway, I found an interesting little statement on their website.

"Rather than tear down existing schools to build new ones, maintain and upgrade what’s there, add more portable classrooms if necessary, and let the kids learn how to help in the maintenance and improvement of their schools."

Why is Johnny not learning to read? Because he's been up on the school roof every day, trying patch those pesky leaks. I guess they figure the kids should empty the waste baskets, clean the bathrooms, etc. Maybe they can move the portable classrooms around once in a while, just to make life interesting.

1. My yahoos are bothered

because middle school social studies classes might be giving students the idea that some Muslims might be sane and decent people.

Can't be having that.

2. My Yahoos want to take the State University system back to before the Scopes Monkey Trial.

But since "we voted for the fools" we deserve them, I am often told by knowing outsiders. According to record most of us did not vote for them but you can't fight the legend once it is in print.
