Mom brings news from the south.

The school district has hired a new superintendent from the Permian Basin, the same slice of West Texas that gave the world Dubya. Said super has promised to "restore moral order" to an already overly reactionary school district. The moment of silence has been in place since 1995, they outlawed Halloween, stopped teaching evolution and have Bible clubs on every campus.

What more do they want?

And then I remembered Ruidoso High School was the first school in the state with student-run, on-site daycare and a little light went on. Yeah.

I'd like to tell this guy that as long as there is nothing to do in that stupid little town, and birth control education is dropped in favor of abstinance-only propoganda, there is no way he can stop the "immoral" students from getting it on. Doesn't matter how many copies of the ten commandments you post in every classroom, bored, hormone-addled teenagers are going to have sex.

SEX!

And engage in devil worship, download porn and listen to NPR.

Okay, maybe not so much on the NPR. Get really smashed every weekend? Get really smashed every weekend.

I wish this guy the best of luck. Sort of. He's either going to make a misstep and raise the ire of the school board within three weeks, or he's going to stay for twenty years.

It's a funky little town, folks. Just go ahead and skip it when planning your annual vacation.
