Kasich may be remembered as the sane Republican, but he broke education in Ohio. When I was growing up there, our schools were ok.

Seriously. Although I never thought he was sane...

I’m not gonna need the Bible quote, but I am gonna say that it makes me laugh my broken tailbone off that anyone aligned with the GOP would bring up that second line. Seriously—the quote is about how bad it is to assume you’re so smart and knowledgeable that you know better than anyone. And what do these chuckleheads do but preach that they know better than the womenfolk, LGBTQ+ people, and pretty much everyone else?

It’s as though they have no self-awareness.

Carroll County, Maryland, voted in 3 loonatic school boarders. The other offering was 3 teachers union clones. But the vote was closer than the usual 60-40 red-blue split. But even the previous board had sued the state to try to avoid mask orders.

The new board is promising to be even crazier.

The outright Christo-fascist *and* the candidate who was smart enough to try and sound as generic as possible but was endorsed by the Christo-fascist both got fuckin’ stomped in my little county school board election. We’re one of those weird rural counties that’s heavily Democratic, so not entirely unexpected, but still VERY satisfying.

What's peer to peer sex education? I'm just asking because It sounds like the teacher pairs off the students and tells them to go into a room by themselves until it seems right.
