Will the Real Idiots Please Stand Up?
When Steve Abrams, a Republican from Arkansas City who is the leader of the wingnut majority on the Kansas school board heard that Gov. Kathleen Sebelius wanted to limit the board's powers to wreak havoc with the state's education system, he responded, "The governor must think the citizens of the state of Kansas are idiots."
As usual, Abrams got it wrong.
It's certainly not the citizens -- who are expected to vote overwhelming to give the popular governor a second term -- she thinks are idiots. It's the six missing links who've been running the state school board and Kansas schools into the ground these past two years.
Who really thinks the citizens of this state are idiots? Anyone who thinks they can get away with writing religion into the curriculum by calling it science.
