Holy hell.

Which state will have the next pants-on-head insane episode and create the next horrific piece of legislature?

Probably us here in FL with that bill that would make it illegal for trans people to use the restroom they feel comfortable the most in using, which also allows people to file civil suits against businesses that don't abide by that law. It's so disgustingly bigoted it's not even funny.

Remember the kids' parents complaining that they couldn't hate on non-whites in California with their patriotic t-shirts? SCOTUS was not impressed with their argument.

If there's anything SCOTUS hates more than minority rights, it's minors' rights at school.

It seems like Menendez is not going to resign, but he is stepping down as ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Kansas' state education cuts have hit two districts so hard they are going to have to end the school year earlier than planned due to lack of funding.

Keep in mind that the state has been ordered by the Kansas Supreme Court (at least once) to stop cutting education spending so much because they're violating the state constitution.

You are talking as if people are reasonable when it comes to suddenly having a ton of money.

The Atlantic did a story on all the ways people have found to mess up winning the lottery and ending up much worse off than when they started

I think there was a radio documentary on it too, probably This American Life. You think you'll be smart with it, but as another poster said, if you haven't ever had a million dollars in a bank account it looks like infinity dollars and you act as if it is.

I swear a huge number of lottery winners end up dying not long afterwards. It's something I see a few times a year.

It's pretty sad. I looked up voter perceptions of both parties.

http://www.pollingreport.com/dvsr.htm

CBS news poll showed Republicans are viewed as better at dealing with terrorism among adults nationwide. A 51 to 28 lead in Feb.

I'll never understand that perception at all. I guess it's probably driven by the media.

Florida's House is currently debating a bill which would effectively extend RFRA-like protections to state-funded adoption agencies, allowing them the freedom to refuse adoptions to gay couples in response to a lawsuit that struck down a state law which prohibited all gay adoptions.

In a move that should surprise no one, the chair of the House Judiciary Committee unceremoniously shut down testimony from a 10-year-old adopted by the family responsible for the lawsuit when his time was up, rather than granting him a few minutes to finish.

Here in FL we just call that 'privatizing bigotry' :911:

Regarding how schools have changed, you'll notice looking back that people started demonizing public education once we started desegregating the schools, and especially once busing started. At around the same time a lot of groups that were right-wing in nature went after textbooks that weren't 'appropriate' (ie. A lot of the textbooks that appeared in the 1970s that explained how no, the U.S. isn't perfect, or the sex ed stuff that was being taught).
