More right-wing brainwashing in Kentucky schools

The more things change, the more the Kentucky school system stays the same.

Since today is a day ending in y, Kentucky schools are indoctrinating students in right-wing dogma. This time, it's happening at South Laurel High School, a public school in Laurel County.

A teacher at this school wrote on a classroom board, "You can't be a democrat & go to heaven." Since I'm a registered Green and not a Democrat, I guess that means there's still a chance for my salvation.

A student tried challenging the instructor's scrawlings and ended up being harassed for it. In response to this harassment, the student's mother said in frustration, "You don't send them to school to have someone else's opinion shoved down their throat and demand they agree with it." Actually, in Kentucky, you do: Kentucky schools have endorsed a far-right agenda for decades. No dissent is tolerated. (You should have heard what they said about Dukakis.)

As Kentuckians, we have several options in dealing with the Tea Party zombies:

1) Sit on our asses and complain.
2) Move to Illinois.
3) Fight back!
