Gov. Reynolds announced school choice researcher will be the next head of Iowa Department of Education

You're a trash human being.
I simply call'em like I see em'. You do know I wasn't simply trying to be crash, I was simply showing the type of people Biden thought were the most qualified individuals suited to run our government. Their resume be dam3ed, as long as we can check off some boxes. You have no problem with Biden doing it but when Gov Kim hires someone you don't like, you go crazy.

Get a pair of glasses if that's how you see em.
 
Why are you libs upset by this appointment? The liberals who control and have controlled the public education system for decades brought this on. Until very recently, no large constituency had any power, or was actually talking about using tax dollars to send public school students to private schools, with the minor exception of some very religious parents who didn't have any real chance. So why now, covid happened and parents were actually able to see what the teachers and their unions were really teaching and not teaching their children. Parents also hear on the news about the sexualization of young children, CRT, children being bullied with little protection, etc. So now, whether or not these things are actually being taught in your school or any school in Iowa for that matter, the left decided to defend these practices and rationalize them rather than unequivocally deny the allegations and side with the parents.

So now this what he left gets in exchange for those actions.

Maybe if more parents actually gave more of a shit about the education of their children and actually had an active role in said education instead of falling for the latest bullshit boogie man pushed by Fox news, etc. (i.e. CRT), then they couldn't feign surprise.

But then again most of these parents, like you, have at most a 5th grade education so it's not really their fault they're ignorant, but that shouldn't mean they should pass on said ignorance to their next generation. They should strive for better for their kids, but then again they just might be too dumb to know better.....I mean they do watch Fox news and vote MAGA after all.

Where did you go to college? It was asked before and you conveniently didn't answer.
 
"Researcher"? What a f@cking joke.

That's what Republicans used to call 'lipstick on a pig'.
The outgoing Director was paid $140k a year.

Will be interesting how much this incoming guy will get for his loyalty to Reynolds?

After all, most Reynolds appointees aren't really qualified for their jobs, she just wants "yes maam" subordinates.

Why won't you tell us what college you graduated from?
 
I'm a registered Republican, but I can smell a pile of shit when I step in one. You understand that, for years, parents have been able to see what is being taught in schools, right? You understand Reynolds has crippled the Teacher's Unions to the point of irrelevancy, right? If you ask any teacher, I'm sure they'll tell you schools side with the parents on issues about 90% of the time as it is. Reynolds putting her cronies and yes men in places of power is flat out disgusting. For someone who advocates for small government, she sure is making sure she has complete control of everything, with little to no checks and balances.
If there is one tiny silver lining, there does seem to be some anger brewing. I was talking to a couple of moms at the gym yesterday, and they are Republican. Both voted for Reynolds, and they are both pissed about the voucher program, teacher shortages with no real plan to address it, and declining test scores.
I have said this before, you can criticize things about education in general, but people like their schools, and their teachers for the most part.
Kim Reynolds didn't run on this stuff.

I guess there’s no way to prove it, but I truly don’t give a shit if you believe me. I’ve posted my party affiliation on here many times over the last 4-5 years.

Why are you a registered Republican? I am a conservative and believe in a small less obtrusive government. I believe in actual free speech and the ability to succeed to my ability as well as fail.

I do not believe in equal outcomes nor do I believe that there are people who need or should get special treatment or that somebody can't succeed. As MLK Jr said, judge one by the content of ones character and not the color of one's skin. Many on this board feel more comfortable with the teachings of Karl Marx than John Stuart Mill or Thomas Jefferson.

MLK was woke (not to mention had socialist sympathies). He’d be the enemy of Fox News today.

Odd choice for a rep of conservative principles.

I am a registered Republican because my values and beliefs (used to) align with theirs, and still do on some very fleeting occasions.

For example, I believe in a smaller less obtrusive government too. However our Governor is doing everything she can to dig her fingers into every single issue, and make laws and decisions based on blind partisan politics. That isn’t a good representative. That isn’t small government. Her behavior is the opposite of being less obtrusive.

Iowa Rs are all about intrusion these days, abs. Not sure why you ignore that.

You say that Republicans are passing laws against CRT, trans activity, etc and say, whatever happened to the Republican's small government stance. But you refuse to even acknowledge the reason the Republicans are passing these laws. Our country is over 250 years old and we have never had public schools attempting to force men onto women's sports teams or saying white people oppress blacks simply due to the fact that whites have less melanin in their skin. So until recently, no one even dreamed that taking a stance against men in girls locker rooms would ever be necessary. (I sometime still think this is someone's sick idea of a joke) So long story short, look in the mirror. You want less government in your life, stopping pushing your radical agenda on the rest of us.

You look like an absolute moron invoking MLK here but by all means keep doing it. He was assassinated by a peckerwood like you after being harassed by the FBI because he was advocating for redistributive policies you idiot.

Try to stay focused, I was commenting on his most famous quote about the way we treat one another based on skin color and not ones qualifications, not his entire social philosophy. But you keep being you, you're so entertaining.

I know what you were doing, you were doing the same dishonest bullshit conservatives do every year on MLK Day when they misrepresent MLKs views and pretend he advocated colorblindness. You did this because you're a stupid person with none of your own thoughts. Just a wind-up monkey with cymbals
 
Is that not one of the 5 or 6 talking points every Republican tries to embarrassoingly shoe horn into every public speaking opportunity? And me being a RINO has no bearing on me being a registered Repub....that disgusting party has driven me away.
Was it the men participating in women's sports, ignoring crime or the drag shows that drove you to be a dem?
