We always kinda knew why Governor Rick Perry wasn’t big on education.  After all, he was not burden with intellectual curiosity.

But apparently Governor Greg Abbott hates, hates, hates education.

He just named the new State Board of Education Chairman.  Her name is Donna Bahorich and she home schooled her kids.  That wouldn’t be so terribly weird if the State Board of Education didn’t approve curriculum and textbooks for public schools.

It also is kinda weird that Bahorich didn’t get the job because of her expertise in education.  She’s a political hack, plain, simple, and worthless.

She was the campaign manager for Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, a man who is so mean that flowers wilt when he walks by.

On Bahorich’s own website, all of her volunteer work and Awards are rightwing political.

So, a woman who doesn’t believe in public education is gonna head up public education.

You can read the whole mess of them here and even see the scans of the tin foil ones.

Thanks to Rick for the heads up.

I can’t think of what to say.

This was bound to happen when the Christian rightwing took over the Texas Railroad Commission – where oil and gas are regulated, or not.  Their Public GIS viewer —

Lord, y’all.  I gotta get outta here.

Thanks to Lydia for the heads up.
