Nothing Left to Say
A blogger's job is to comment on the news, and RSR takes that responsibility very seriously. However, sometimes there's something in the news that leaves no room for comment. Like a rare orchid, come upon unexpectedly in the wild, these items are best looked at, savored, and left alone. No comment required.
That's the case with something Steve Abrams, chair of the Kansas State Board of Education, told Associated Press writer John Hanna in an interview published yesterday. Abrams said that he doesn’t know whether an opinion column he sent to the national media, saying critics have engaged in character assassination, will change any minds.
“I was trying to do some clarification,” he said. “I expect that some will still say that I’m an absolute idiot and have no understanding of science.”
