WRESTLING OUR SCHOOL BOARDS AWAY FROM THE TEACHERS UNION

News from the statehouse is Senate Bill #2 SCHOOLBOARD ELECTIONS AT GENERAL ELECTION TIME passed out of committee, 6-4, YESTERDAY!!! The bill still has a long ways to go, but it's a start. Republicans voted for, and democrats against, this very important piece of legislation that would take school boards out from under the thumb of the teachers union, and their wasteful spending on fancy school buildings and needless travelling to fabulous vacation destinations to learn how to deliver "social justice" to students who desperately need to learn how to read, write, compute, and think. Legislators have tried to pass this twice before. Let's pray we get lucky, and the third time is charms! It's time we had a school board that represented this COMMUNITY and PARENTS instead of the homosexuals, illegal immigrants, school architects, and liberal dingbat educational consultantants out of IU, California and Vermont.
