Our dumb Legislature: A continuing series

Yesterday the Leg was trying to was trying to magically register sex offenders' online IDs in spite of the fact that it is near technological impossibility that depends on sexual predators being honest. Today they are trying to control the political thoughts of teachers and professors. The article from the Republic. The reason for the bill is pointed out below:


In an example of the type of behavior he is targeting, Verschoor said one of his granddaughters' elementary teachers required the class to write letters to a lawmaker opposing a certain bill.


I am actually familiar with this classroom situation. The teacher had the kids write the legislature in response to what the Leg called SBSPEA (pronounced SB-SP-EA HB3450), also known as the Sponge Bob Square Pants Elimination Act. Legislators feared that Sponge Bob seemed a little too gay, so they decided to eliminate all references to the character, including all TV shows, merchandise and all other references. The bill also called for a new thought cleaning machine to eliminate all thoughts of Sponge Bob from their young impressionable minds and to clean out any gay thoughts pushed on them by the evil purveyors of the Gay Agenda.
The kids were understandably upset...
