Morons in the News

Why do we wonder at the pathetic excuse for education that our children are getting in our public schools?

Two tales are linked below, both from morons.org. My aggregator caught them both from other sources, but "Morons in the News" was just too good to pass by as a headline, especially for stories like these.

(Note: you may have to futz a bit with the links to get them to work, or go to the main site first.)

Parents Protest Operatic "Devil-Worship"

Tresa Waggoner, an elementary school music teacher in Bennett, Colorado, is a Christian, a gospel recording artist and a church choir director. She believes that teaching "is what God put me on this earth to do." She is also, according to some Bennett parents, a devil worshiper promoting homosexuality to her young (first-, second-, and third-grade) students.

A drama teacher has offended some Christians' delicate sensibilities and has decided to resign rather than be forced out. To call Fulton, Missouri regressive might be the understatement of the century. Or more correctly, it might be the understatement of several centuries. Even the radical mores of the 16th century are too much.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
