Does anyone from Kentucky recognize this woman?

[proud2BlibKansan]

Connie Morris is the leading conservative idiot on the Kansas State Board of Ed who is pushing creationism on us. She is from Kentucky and wrote a scathing biography about her life as a drug taking slut before she found gawd. We DUers on the KS board are wondering if any of you Kentuckians know this slut.

Unnatural Selection
The strange redemption of Connie Morris, high school slut turned Kansas State Board of Education anti-evolutionist.
By Justin Kendall

By this summer, Connie Morris had made a name for herself on this side of Kansas.

A member of the Kansas State Board of Education, the conservative Republican from St. Francis -- a town with 1,497 residents in the far northwestern corner of the state, just 20 miles east of the Colorado line -- had publicly written off the theory of evolution in her newsletter as an "age-old fairytale." Newspaper readers here knew her as the main antagonist of Shawnee's Sue Gamble, one of four self-described moderate or liberal state school-board members whose voices of reason were trounced by anti-evolutionary forces and their farcical "trial" involving intelligent design -- which posits a natural world too complex to exist without the influence of a higher power -- this past May in Topeka.

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.

She has already written the textbook.

Her 208-page tell-all autobiography, From the Darkness: One Woman's Rise to Nobility (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.

1. And just who decided that hers was a rise to 'nobility'?

2. I think she did

I am assuming she named her book herself.

And BTW, she is far from noble. LOL

4. God told her

Here's another conversation Connie "Intelligent Design Nazi" Littleton Morris had with the Lord:

At a church service in Goodland, a speaker had asked parishioners to write down what they wanted most from God. Connie wrote, "I wish I had never been abused and raped." Then, she writes, the spirit of the Lord whispered to her, "I want you to thank me that you were abused." She was taken aback.

"Had He been a human I might have slapped Him!" she writes. "How dare He make such a request! ... But I knew the moment was mine to grab, if only I had the nerve."

5. We Kansans were hoping to find some information about Connie in Kentucky

She was, according to her book and The Pitch's article, a pretty wild woman. She mentions a politican she followed to Frankfort.

...She'd (Connie) taken cosmetology and reflexology classes and started working in a beauty shop, where she met "Jack B.," a 50-something politician "in the heat of a campaign." A flirty relationship blossomed into "a full-blown affair" after a reflexology house call but ended after Jack won his race and moved to Frankfort, the Kentucky state capital.

But she found the Lord and all is forgiven.

Seriously, we'd like any information about this nutbag and her wanton, lustful ways in Kentucky. Or anything about her.
