LATEST FROM THE KANSAS BORD OF EDJICASHUN

[RoBear]

Now the idiots are trying to pass an "opt-in" for sex education instead of an "opt-out." Hope it backfires on them.

1. I believe that's spelled "edukashun"

[RoBear]

2. No, I think it's edjukashun

Sorry for the misspelling in my original post! :blush:

[ixion]

6. nope, your both wrong... it's edjumakashun

the 'm' is silent. :dunce:

[RoBear]

9. ..

:rofl:

[xultar]

10. The m isn't silent.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

11. Pronounced: headvacation

The dunces are NOT silent.

[AtomicKitten]

12. You are correct, sir.

I checked with the judges. I defer to your superior intellect.

[atommom]

15. This is giving me enervation!

[katsy]

3. sheeeeesh!

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Put them out of their misery and save their taxpayers $$$: Iron chastity belts for all their kids and keep your fingers crossed that they lose the keys!

4. Charming

5. Backfires as in . . .

ensuring that their students are crammed full of useless myths instead of educated? That they are unequipped to compete in the 21st century because they've been canalized into 18th century thinking? That ignorant children will impregnate each other, and ensure they and their offspring are impoverished for the rest of their lives?

Never mind -- that's how education already works in Kansas. They're doomed. If you live in Kansas, move, for the sake of your children.

7. Backfires as in

losing them the election next time around. With this gambit, they've over-played their hand, and I really don't think all Kansans are stupid enough to re-elect them. We had the evolution shit come up a few years back and the idiots were voted out the next election. Unfortunately, the "christian" "right" (evil-doers all) voted in a bunch of bible-thumpers the next time around. Will be interesting to see what comes of THIS little SFB move!
:popcorn:

8. To many of those

"my daughter can date when I'm dead" parents are serious!

[AtomicKitten]

13. That's an anemic admission of incompetence.

Doh! Bush's incompetence has permeated every inch of our world.

[atommom]

14. Connie Morris is the leading wingnut pushing this idea.

I think she's overplayed her hand badly this year, and I'm hoping the voters won't sleep through school board elections again next time.

HERE is the dirt on Ms. Connie:

16. Problem is, she's from St Francis

way in the northwest corner of the state. Pretty fundamentalist country out there. I do think Steve Abrams who was defeated two elections ago and came back in the last election is vulnerable. God, I hope so. We just look stoopuder and stoopuder.

[ComerPerro]

17. She is a classic born-again wingnut hypocrite

[0rganism]

18. Sex edukashun be da job of da parents an' tha horny uncle

an' whaderver farum anuhmuls don' run to fas.

19. The board is now deadlocked, 5-5.

TOPEKA — The State Board of Education today failed to adopt a sex education policy.

The board deadlocked 5-5 on two proposals.

One proposal would have kept the current policy, which lets school districts decide whether to require parental permission for students to attend sex education class or , allows parents to take their child out of the class if they object. The so-called “opt-out” method is used by most districts, including Lawrence.

The other proposal would have recommended school districts require parental permission for the student to take sex education.

The deadlock means the board may take up the policy issue next month.
