Why Johnny Can’t Read (or spell)
.
“What the heck fool tarnation gosh drat are we gonna do with Teabaggers and the mysteries of spelling?” Juanita wants to know.
Ken Mercer is running for re-election to the Texas Board of Education. Re-election. This nincompoop is one of the turkeys currently on the school board.
He has a Facebook Page. For those of you who get hives from Facebook, I have provided a screenshot of his page. Click the little one to get the big one.
Can’t find it?
“Look closely, he is on the State Board of Education, he’s a Teabagger Republican, and he’s has a campaign — well, I’m not sure sure about the last one. I think it’s more like a campagin. Maybe that’s a campaign with free champagne at the headquarters. I dunno,” she admits.
In one of those perfect moments of irony, on Ken’s website he wants “a return to true phonics, grammar, spelling and writing (goodbye to thirty plus years of the bureaucratic failure known as “whole language”)”
Ken is for family, faith, and freedom and he wants to put Sean Hannity in Texas social studies textbooks.
However, he apparently opposes spelling.
Thanks to Jon for the heads up on this one!
