Of course, someone has to run against her, but I would salivate at the chance if I lived in West Kansas.

Her remarks, her arrogance, her push to discredit teaching biology and science, and her Florida vacation on taxpayers expense. Western Kansas loves her, so I don't see her leaving the KSBE anytime soon. The only way around this would be a proposal that was being pushed around last year, but gain any feet. That is to change the Department of Education. Instead of having a board, but have a Secretary of Education appointed by the Governor. I thought it was a great idea last year, and I think it is a better idea today. I’m distrubed by Connie Morris.
