Indiana Senate full of lugnuts

It looks like the entire Indiana Senate has just proven themselves to be a bunch of backwards idiots.

Today - yes, in 2009 - senators voted 50 to 0 to approve a bill to help shield school employees from lawsuits when their "discipline" is unreasonable.

And because Indiana remains one of America's leading pupil-battering states, it often is unreasonable.

Who was the fucking idiot who came up with this bill???

It was sponsored by right-wing State Sen. Teresa Lubbers (R-Indianapolis). But it was backed by...guess who? Gov. Mitch Daniels, of course.

Disaster Daniels - Indiana's Energizer Bunny of bad ideas - strikes again.

And how in the fuck did this shit pass unanimously? I used to think America had a two-party system, but I guess not.

It wouldn't have passed 50 to 0 if I was an Indiana senator. That's a guarantee. If you're an Indiana senator today, you're supporting child abuse by backing this law. That's all there is to it.

Lawmakers complained that schools are threatened with too many frivolous lawsuits. America's Nazi-like schools, however, consider every lawsuit to be frivolous - if it's against them.

There aren't too many lawsuits against schools. In fact, there aren't nearly enough.

(Incidentally, the Indianapolis Star's website has already been freeped by child-hating extremists who support the new law. As an added indignity, some of their posts are racist. Big surprise.)
