Connie Morris, KS BoE nutcase

[scratchtasia]

The Pitch has a cover story this week about Connie Morris, the leading anti-evolutionist on the Kansas Board of Education.

With anti-evolution standards all but guaranteed to be written into the Kansas school curriculum, Morris and other conservative board members will try this fall, her newsletter promises, to "reclaim" sex education. The conservative majority has plans to alter a small but important section of the schools' health standards, adding an "opt-in" provision that would require parents to sign a permission slip before their children would be taught sex ed. (Parents can already opt their children out of such classes.) Morris outlined her stance in a June newsletter to her constituents, calling for "more decorum" in health classes. "Anatomy and physiology used to be part of a rigorous health curriculum, but has long been discarded for a more sex education type of teaching," she wrote.

Morris criticizes society for reveling "too long in the free-sex revolution." And she's well aware that some will call her views prudish.

If she wanted to, though, Morris could teach her own class on free sex.

. . .

Her 208-page tell-all autobiography, (available on Amazon.com for as little as $3.09), reveals that she wasn't always so conservative. Before she was Connie Morris, enemy of evolution, she was Connie Littleton, black-haired siren.

More.

Since finding the Lord after a past filled with sex and drugs, the holier-than-thou Morris has engaged in politically-motivated smears and spent taxpayer money in ways that have raised eyebrows. What a piece of work.

1. Someone needs...

to find loads of pictures of "the old Connie" and plaster them all over internet sex sites, labeling her a gigantic hypocrite.

What's sauce for the goose and all...

Note to fundies: Being born again doesn't absolve your ass of anything. It's bullshit Scofield-ism at its stupidest.

2. If creationism (I'm not buying the "I.D." moniker) is taught, then sex ed

should now be taught as "visits from the stork".... it's the exact same logic.

In seventh grade, though, Connie went further with "Will," a married man in his 30s who was the son-in-law of her father's new girlfriend. "Will knew I was a virgin, and he seemed to relish the sport of slowly, yet strategically bringing me to succumb to his seduction," she writes. "I was still afraid of intercourse, even though my revolting behavior had easily ascended me to third base and then had me trying to steal for home."


Sounds to me like she could have used some sex education, and not the kind taught by a married man in his 30s.

Is this what she wants for children today? Does she want them to have this same experience because they won't know any better or different?

Check out more tidbits about this "values voter":

Newly single, Connie moved on to an affair with one of her high school teachers, who was "blonde, blue eyed, muscular ... and married with small children." Their lack of discretion exposed the liaison, and the affair ended abruptly when the man's wife interrupted a rendezvous, banging on the door, screaming his name and leaving Connie hiding in a closet.

Morris also recaps her drug abuse in the late '70s and early '80s, sounding like a washed-up rock star as she recalls dropping acid and snorting "heroine , angel dust, speed and cocaine."

For a year, she spent nearly every night passed out in somebody's van or on a stranger's floor, according to the book. Although she still had plenty of sex, her partying friends were more like brothers and sisters. "Hound-like sexual behavior would have ruined it," she writes. "Several of them were eventually killed in accidents or shot in drunken brawls. I could tell you numerous stories of how close I came to being one of them, dead and spending eternity in Hell."

Connie graduated from high school in 1979. Before the ceremony, she writes, she dropped acid before crossing the stage to receive her diploma.

We are being governed by a bunch of people who were failures into their thirties, who suddenly (supposedly) found Jesus and now apparently have the moral authority and superiority to judge everyone else.

These people, who couldn't even manage their own lives, want to tell us how to live, how to act, and what our children should be taught.

I don't have any kids, but when I do, I don't want them to get their lessons in morality from some hypocritical fundie slut who dropped acid before getting her diploma.

4. You said it....

The worst hypocrites are these "reformed sinners." Connie is another person I suspect of having some untreated mental illness. But the magic word, "Jesus," has convinced some people that she deserves to be taken seriously now. :shrug: I just don't get it.
