Academic “freedom” bill is closer to law

April 29th, 2008 • 2 comments education, idiocy

Seems Rep. Stroms and her cronies don’t want to stop with their nonsense. Their bill, incorrectly dubbed an “Academic Freedom” bill, is steps from being signed into law according to the Orlando Sentinel. Great! Scopes and Dover don’t mean anything to these people because they’re morons, up and down. I’m glad the proud citizens of Florida voted these idiots into office and keep them there (I didn’t vote them in, I can’t vote in this state…YET). Governor Crist will happily sign this bill into law, I’m sure. Not because he understands what it’s about or why it’s a bad idea but because he’s an idiot too.

One of the supporters of this bill said the House should welcome signing it into law because it’ll bring lawsuits and they — the representatives in the House, many lawyers — will enjoy having lawsuits to fight over. That means they’re aware they’re signing into law a very unstable bill that will end up getting a number of schools sued and they’re OK with that. No, scratch that. They want that to happen.

I’m glad I don’t have children in this state’s school system but at the same time, sad at the same fact. I can’t send my kid to class with a tape recorder to tape all the stupidity that’s sure to come once August gets here and school’s back in full swing. I can just hear all the litigation now and how this bill will probably get repealed in less than two years for causing such a financial strain on both the school systems and the state.

Sick…again pt. 2

Apparently some strain of influenza has been going around this is what I’ve got. I feel a lot better today than I did all weekend combined but still, I feel like crushed crap. Got the paper finished and turned in last night and I booked it out of class, touching as little as possible. We’re supposed to go see Epica tonight at the Culture Room but probably won’t be able to which really sucks seeing as we’ve waited about 7 months for this show and here I am, sick. Bleh.

I’m back at work today and it’s not great but at least I’m not eating up any vacation time. I think I need to get back to work although, do I really want to?
