KS anti-evolutionist calls liberals 'vindictive'
This is the same state board of ed member who called evolution a 'fairy tale' earlier this week. Now she goes to a conference on magnet schools and the taxpayers pay for it. Here's the rub: there are NO magnet schools in KS and no plans to implement any. We can't pay for the schools we do have.

Hey Connie, Magnet schools in KS? That's the fucking fairy tale!


Ed board members question colleague's trip to Florida convention

A member of the Kansas Board of Education who has been a staunch proponent of holding the line on school spending is under fire for asking taxpayers to pay thousands of dollars for an April conference she attended in Florida.

Some of her fellow board members say Connie Morris' six-day trip for a conference on magnet schools was a waste of money. Critics also questioned the need for Morris to attend the conference, because there isn't much demand for magnet schools in her sprawling 5th District in western Kansas.

But Morris, one of the board's most outspoken conservatives who has frequently clashed during meetings with members of the moderate minority, on Friday called criticism of her trip to the Magnet Schools of America conference "sleazy."

"I think it is a combination of the emotions around evolution as well as the newsletter I sent out," Morris said. "The liberals aren't accustomed to criticism, and they were stinging from my exposure of their behavior. Their response is vindictive.

2. Vindicative is sending my friends to Iraq to be killed for a lie....
Vindicative is thinking fundamentalist christianity is the only "palpable" religion. Vindicative is rigging the damned voting machines.

Vindicative is exploiting human lives for political gain....Vindicative is being called "liberal" when you agree with human rights. Vindicative is me when I hear your crap and everything about it deserves to be erased, and you fired. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

If that means I'm vindicative, then so be it. If that means I'm vindicative for thinking over 90,000 Iraqis were killed for a bullshit lie, then so be it.

Now walk the walk chicken-hawk! :thumbsdown:

3. Asked to justify her expenditures and she lashes out with namecalling
Typical GOP behavior but not responsible. We would like to see Accountability and Responsibility. It is sadly lacking in Kansas.

8. Oh we are working on that
Criticizing Morris attending this conference is a small step in the right direction.

7. Notice she never answers the allegations. Just slings mud at people
for questioning her behavior. If you question the holier than thou Connie Morris than of course you are vindictive, because we know conservatives never make mistakes.

9. Yep she is acting just like
the righties on discussion boards. Since they are too stupid to debate issues, they call names.

12. Typical tack: Accuse your opponent of the offense you are committing.
Could they be more predictable?

Why do we lose to these idiots, again?

16. Good question
But the good news from KS is we ARE activating and organizing. These wingnuts have brought a LOT of progressives out of the woodwork - at least here in eastern KS. For one thing, our state forum here on DU is one of the more active ones.
