Instead of working on the debt ceiling, we have this clown show.
I would love for someone to ask one of these clowns, that if there is a deep state plot by the FBI to hurt the GOP, wouldn't Jordan be in jail for covering up sexual abuse by now, and Gaetz for his trafficking?

Senate Education and Workforce Development Committee holds first hearing​

Two bills were presented in the Senate Education and Workforce Development Committee this week that would create a “Parents’ Bill of Rights Act of 2023.” The bills are similar in subject, but there are differences between the two pieces of legislation.

SB4 (Koenig) and SB89 (B.Brown) expand the information to be made accessible on the Missouri Accountability Portal to include all forms of compensation and benefits paid to, or on behalf of, public employees. The bills require that each local school board and charter school governing board approve and adopt the curriculum at least two months prior to implementation. Each school board and charter school governing board shall adopt policies to ensure that the approved and adopted curricula are properly implemented in the classroom. The parents’ bill of rights language prohibits schools from requiring nondisclosure agreements for a parent's review of curricula and each school must provide a parent, upon request, with an electronic or paper copy of the curriculum documents. The Commissioner of Education is required to establish the Missouri Education Transparency and Accountability Portal to provide citizens with access to every school district's curriculum, textbooks and syllabi. The portal shall include the cost associated with speakers and guests used by a school in their professional development activities.

The bills further outline rules for the discussion of certain concepts in schools. No school or school employee shall compel teachers to teach, or a student or teacher to personally adopt, adhere to, or profess a position or viewpoint a reasonable person would conclude violates certain public policy expressed in the act including but not limited to:

  • Individuals of any race, ethnicity, color or national origin being inherently superior or inferior
  • Individuals, by virtue of their race, ethnicity, color or national origin, bearing collective guilt and being inherently responsible for actions committed in the past by others.
This bill states that the language of the bill shall not be construed to prohibit constitutionally protected speech, access to research or study materials or the discussion or assignment of materials for educational purposes.

SB4 also directs the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to develop a patriotic and civics training program to prepare teachers to teach the principles of American civics and patriotism. Subject to appropriation, each teacher that completes the training will receive a one-time bonus of $3,000 to be paid by the department.

Andy Reid, WHY????

You have a 10-point lead in the 2Q. You are on the opponent's 42. There is 2:30 left. Why are you passing three plays in a row? Run the ball two plays...make Cincy burn timeouts and kill to the 2-minute warning.
Reid's time management skills at their ugly worst. They burned 10, maybe 15 seconds before punting. Result: 3 more points for Cincy, and almost 7 without the dropped pass.
