She's saying that the school boards should have the right to say what our children teach which means you get a bunch of dumbass schoolboard members you're totally screwn! And if you're a parent and your children are going to school in some rural part of the state, who knows what quality of education your children would get. Our country is around 25th in the world when it comes to things such as Science and Math and her solution - make our kids dumber. Let the schoolboard decide what hookey things they want to teach our children and keep them as dumb as can be. I just watched that section of the debate and it frightens the bejesus out of me. Not because she said it but because there are hundreds more out there that are willing to stupidize our children!

I appreciate in this world that some people want their children to have a religious indoctrination with their children and there are many ways that can be done. The public schools is NOT one of them. Parents should be the ones that teach their children religion if they choose to do so. There are churches, catholic schools and private schools that will help with that. But no school board should ever EVER be forcing religious teaching on other peoples children.

I still remember when Dover School board tried that about 5 years ago, next election they were all booted.
