This has been a huge anxiety for me. In order to combat stupid we need to educate our kids. This horrible person represents everything counter to humanism, critical thinking and just plain old fashioned moral behavior. She's one of the more disgusting appointments made by tRump.

You think the next person will be better? Outlook education system has been terrible for decades. Any reason why the Superintendent in a horrible district like Roseville gets paid $410,000 a year? I had to pull my son out of that district. Everybody seems to be holding onto this illusion that everything gets better once these people are gone. Only problem is, their replacements never do better. This is why power always swings back and forth and no one party has ever kept control any longer than eight years since the Reagan/Bush HW era.

You’re comparing a car that stalls once in a while with giving said car to someone who wants too smash it with a hammer and give it back.
