Misc.

If you are upset about the Public Education Department in Santa Fe trying to appease religious fundamentalists then please send in a comment.  As you know they are trying change science curriculum by removing evolution, climate change and age of the earth from our students knowledge base.  Unthinkable.

Actually, think a little about Alabama right now and the complete nutcase they just nominated for the US Senate.  He is a disgraced state Supreme Court Judge who takes all of his orders from god.  Even trump didn't like him.

Governor Martinez is saying all elected officials should be removed from the State Investment Council.  That would not be a blow for transparency.  Can you imagine leaving the state's billions of dollars in permanent funds under control of only the hedge fund CEOs and Bankers?

A couple of years ago my wife confronted an Espanola School Board member about Chimayo Elementary school kids still not having math books after half a year - while at the same time a million dollar renovation of the high school gym was taking place. “Oh you don’t need books to teach math” he explained, “it’s all around us”. Obviously foolish to expect members of the kleptobureaucracy to be concerned with anything other then keeping their noses firmly in the trough.
