20. not the first idiotic proposal from this idiot
Thu Mar 5, 2015, 02:15 PM
Mar 2015

Matthew McLaughlin is a graduate of UCLA-Irvine and the George Mason School of Law in Fairfax VA. Eleven years ago he came up with a ballot initiative proposal that would have required the placement of the King James bible in the curriculum of California public schools. My understanding is that he failed to get the required signatures to get that proposal on the ballot -- and he's highly unlikely to be any more successful this time.

Once an idiot. Always an idiot.
