Academic Freedom . . .

Yeti at Frozen Tundra Blog has a extensive post about Senator Michele Bachmann's so-called defense of academic freedom bill that is currently pending in the Legislature. Senator Bachmann is, of course, the reigning clown princess of Minnesota politics (but with Cheri Pierson Yecke and Pat Pariseau snapping at her heels; Spotty can't seem to shake the canine metaphors).

Sens. Michel and Bachmann both sit on the K12 Education Committee, and while Bachmann's bill deals specifically with higher education, Bachmann has also solicited stories from fundamentalist Christian high school students telling of their hideous repression at school. So we know where she is going with this. Spotty can just imagine how hard it must be to be part of the majority culture and be expected to look at something from a different perspective once in a while.

Spotty says contact Geoff Michel to get his position on this bill.
