A RINO is chairing judiciary? WTF? I presume that means nothing of consequence will be sent there. Lundborg at Health means we'll be seeing a lot of "Protect the Egg" bills.
First order of business — teachers permitted to carry firearms in class . . .
Thar's some learnin' for you kiddies that you won't find on any of your egghead ACT exams!
I think you're pretty much guaranteed a win on that prediction. IIRC, Holbert's been the sponsor every year but one that he's been in office of a bill to allow concealed carry without restriction or permit.
Either that or some kind of voucher program.
They can combine the two: your voucher for private schools will be your concealed carry permit!
I think they're planning on giving the guns to the teachers and the vouchers to the students, but kill two birds…
I guess it doesn't matter how old they are as long as they're "good guys with guns."
That caucus has a lot of nuts, and they can't all be stashed away in State Affairs.
So a new commitee shall be created called Idea Development In Denver's Outeach Team…. and stash the all of them in a broom closet and lock 'em up. Tell them to develop an idea and just simply flush it.
Every single one of these Republican members of the Senate Education committee is a certified Rocky Mountain Gun Owners candidate. Each of them received money from RMGO (which doesn't give to lots of candidates) to get elected.
Why? As stated before….look for guns guns guns in the classroom.
For these people, the answer to gun violence is, of course, MORE GUNS!
Even around our children…MORE GUNS!
They could run all their pet bills til the cows come home. How fast do you think the House Education Committee will take to hear testimony and vote them down?
This committee assignment roster is clearly Cadman's throwing out his very first sloppy, wet, long-tongued suck to Dudley and his useful idiots pals up in Windsor.
Additionally, 3 of them support vouchers or the tax-credit version of such.
From their web sites.
Vicki Marble is for school choice (code word for vouchers)
Tim Neville's says he supports vouchers.
Laura Woods even thinks vouchers give too much power to the government, and wants tax credits (which are great for wealthy parents sending their kids to expensive private schools, but does nothing for lower income families).
Great for wealthy fill-in-the-blank, but does nothing for lower or mid income families pretty much works for GOTP stands on anything.
The Republicans on the Senate education committee will push bills to set up vouchers in every school district in the state, try another Schultheis-like "religious freedom" proposal, seek to terminate Colorado's adoption of the Common Core academic standards and prevent adoption of the Next Generation Science Standards, push for mandatory teaching of intelligent design or, at least, "equal treatment," seek an end to all affirmative action in state college admissions, and, of course, ban the use of the AP U.S. History exam by Colorado high schools. They're crazy!
Wonder how they'll spend the second half of the session.
Well, if Republicans wanted to send out a message about their priorities on various issues, this certainly covers it.
