I've got a coworker like this. Works for State Revenue office, yet hates the IRS and buys into all these gov't conspiracy theories. Hates government, but cashes a gov't paycheck.

and yep....a republican

Even other republicans in the office can't stand him and mock him.

*dumbification

For a women who hates monarch style rule . . . I'm pretty sure Lady comes from the monarchy.


(Or at least for the vast majority will conjure that idea.)

I went to lower and middle school in Texas, private and public. In public school I was paddled with the 'board of education' for refusing to say there was no such thing as a negative number in 5th grade. (private school had taught me that there certainly WAS such a thing by that point, but no one had taught my 5th grade teacher).
This is a great reason for other states to ignore Texas when purchasing text books, their board of miss-education has a clear history of ignoring or re-writing history, science, and (from my experience) even math!
When the board is populated mostly (or solely) with people that don't believe in public education, you end up with books and teaching methods designed to prove that point rather than teach. That's not a method others should emulate.

First they come for the biologists, then they came for the mathematicians...

Seriously, what has jebus got against negative numbers?
