Hat tip nkit
HB 1035, a bill by Rep. Valarie Hodges that would have mandated that schoolchildren in Louisiana be taught the Declaration of Independence, sailed through the House Education Committee with a 6-2 vote. But Wednesday, when the bill reached the floor of the House, it had a different fate – amid a torrent of squabbling, Hodges returned the bill to the calendar and it’s likely finished for the session.
The Louisiana House of Representatives has 61 Republican members out of 105, and yet it was apparent no consensus for a cornerstone of basic civics in the state’s public schools was available to the bill’s supporters.
And yet, the bill did serve to provide a bit of civic education for the people of Louisiana – although perhaps not the lesson Rep. Hodges was looking for.
What we found out was something many of us knew – namely, that Rep. Barbara Norton, a Democrat from Shreveport, isn’t a fan of our founding documents – and also is a barely sentient being.
Have a look at Norton’s cranky questioning of Hodges about the Declaration of Independence, and consider the prospects of Louisiana’s legislature contributing positively to the state’s civic progress…
WTF? Shouldn’t the IQ of elected officials at least exceed their height in inches? Only in the modern west can a public figure spew a flawed line of reasoning like this and get away with it. Disgusting.
People are defined by their history.
Destroy a people’s history, destroy the people.
And we care what this dumbass says, why? I don’t care about louisiana. If that’s who they want representing them, Ok. That’s why we need to decentralize government. Without federal money or federal mandates louisiana would be free to choose whomever they want to represent them, and the consequenses would be their’s alone. As it should be.
Synthetic Injustice. I LOVE that term.
Keep in mind this is from the same state that just expanded hate crime status to cops and firefighters.
They can shove their mosquito infested swamps where the sun don’t shine.
Amazing how we have a million regulations, but constantly need more..
Insanity at its finest.
OMG that woman should learn to keep her mouth shut otherwise it’s painfully obvious her IQ is far down the left slope about where it flattens out I suspect. Pathetic!
This reminds me of that dipshit democrat congressman that thought Guam would tip over if the navy built a base on one side.
Quite sad to watch him try to explaine what he, and his equally stupid staff, must have thought was brilliant.
Rule of law no longer applies to the HILLARY like TYRANTS in DC. How many will ride Clintons coat tails?
If I could just get past, “Our men’s”, “axing our childrens” and that Martin Luther King was not born in 1776, I might have an idea what hell she was talking about. Or perhaps not.
Wow! The stupid is strong in that one! That’s on par with Hank Johnson talking about Guam tipping over.
Forget IQ testing, I’ll settle for drug testing.

Her constituents are niggers who are dumber than she is. She is in that position because she out niggered the other niggers. Facts and logic are not required to win an election.
Holy Crap! you could make gorilla cookies with that face. Credit to Redd Foxx.
I’m guessing the hair came from India.

Hmmm
There was no such reticence on the part of the “legislature” when the subject of the teaching the “Holocaust” or Israel’s perspective of the Middle East. In fact you will see this Pro israeli, Pro zionist, Holocaust and antisemitism propaganda being foisted on our children supported by state legislatures all over the country. Contrast the time, effort and resources now devoted to those topics with teaching our children the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights is a shocking reminder of what happens when a tiny minority gains too much power and influence over the majority.
Sorry, I listened to the stupid bitch twice and could not – and I really tried — make 2 cents worth of sense out of it. ’nuff said.

She is or has to be the dumbest legislator outside of Maxine waters and Shirley Jackson lee and that other nitwit Elijah cunmmings. These people are voting on our laws that we have to abide by? GOD HELP US?
