A state law? Really???

I know I've been in this job too long when I start seeing stories like this. But I've got 30 years left until retirement, so...

Maryland State Del. Marvin Holmes Jr., a diehard DLCer, has decided he wants to follow the right-wing trail blazed by another DLCer, Nevada State Sen. Bob Coffin.

I told you in November that Coffin's pet cause is his effort to pass a state law requiring public schools to make uniforms mandatory. Now Holmes is attempting to do the same in Maryland.

Holmes has sponsored a bill to require school uniforms statewide - and make parents pay for the uniforms.

Does anyone not believe the purpose of this bill is to impose groupthink? One school district - which doesn't have uniforms but does have a rigid dress policy - already forces violators to don a shirt saying "Support the Dress Code", so is there any doubt?

Is there also any doubt that it was a good idea for me to switch to the Green Party?

If Holmes's bill passes, what about school districts that don't want uniforms?

And what about the sweatshop scandal the media bots continue to cover up?

America's future is on the line, and this is one issue that continues to spiral out of control.
