Gov. Brainfart in action again.

Le sigh

Gov. Terry Branstad announced recommendations for improving the teaching of Iowa history in schools but acknowledged he can't promise he'll support funding the effort.

Branstad announced the history teaching recommendations Tuesday at a Des Moines elementary school before at least two dozen children, who sat on the floor between the governor and reporters.

The proposals came from the Iowa History Advisory Council, which was formed last year and issued a report this month. The recommendations include coordinating professional development for teachers and ensuring adequate state staffing to create Iowa history materials.

Branstad expressed interest in a public-private partnership for funding but offered no details.


Lemme guess, the private part of the partnership would be some Koch brothers type indoctrination of children.
