A bill mandating that schoolchildren in Louisiana be taught the Declaration of Independence is being opposed by a state lawmaker.
Louisiana State Rep. Barbara Norton (D) said, "For the Declaration of Independence, only Caucasians [were] free. And for you to bring a bill to request that our children will recite the Declaration, I think it's a little bit unfair."

And the one who introduced the bill is an idiot if she thinks that having kids waste time mumbling through a daily recitation of the DoI is going to accomplish anything positive.

It's Barbara Norton. She isn't qualified to run a lemonade stand, let alone create and/or vote on legislation. A quick Google search will reveal ample evidence of her stupidity

Did she mention anything about her party's historic views on slavery?

Ever notice the race baiters like this skank are the most racist people in existence?

In 2016 our state legislature is trying to pass a bill demanding that basic history be taught?
Our state is so damn retarded sometime

Holy shite. Has there ever been a more appropriate time for the use of this clip? Ever?

But the best 10 minute stretch of Louisiana legislature still goes to Hurricane Chris:

I thought the bill was have kids recite it everyday.

I've seen the Hurricane Chris clip. Trying to sing the intro to Hallie Berry was not a wise decision.
Ms Norton kept vaguely stating that he had done all these wonderful things for his community. She then does nothing but mention his musical accomplishments.

I have absolutely no problem with children having to recite this ever day:
quote:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Almost every aspect of this preamble is currently under attack in our hyperpsuedoanger society.

It's like some dumb animal found a human suit and put it on. It knows that humans use words, and knows the words, but has no comprehension of what they mean so it just throws them together in a jumble.

What in the actual frick is something like that doing in a State's legislative body taking up precious time?
