Yeah, I know, Indiana Legislators and "read" in the same sentence...
So they send a Bill to Our Bitch Mitch providing for a MANDATORY "Moment of Silence" in the public schools. ("Oh, but it's NOT a PRAYER!") and requiring ALL classrooms in the State to display a Murkan flag by this Fall, and-wait for it-a "Voluntary" Pledjumleegense bill. Students can choose to "opt-out" of being required to say the pledge.
OK, I'm cool with that. Then why waste MY tax money passing such a piece of shit? If you can choose not to say it without penalty, it's not much of a law, is it? Maybe they can ask our school kiddies NEXT year to sing "Murka the Bootiefull" before getting served their Ketchup-is-a-veggie lunch....
And who's paying for all these flags? Or can the schools just continue to display the 48-star ones they still own? Oh, Boy! New Science textbooks, or new flags for all the classroomns...Well, they're not under State Fiat to buy new books, are they? Sorry, Hoosier school kiddies, you'll just have to read for another year "Some day, Man may travel to the MOON..." Like *I* did in 1973! (we went to the Moon in what, 1969?)
If the Bubbas don't have any more REAL work to do, why don't they just close-up shop early this year.
Notice that I bit my tongue on what I think is the REAL agenda behind this "Moment of silence"...Camel's nose through the tent flap, folks....
