While her point is valid, by her logic or lack there of, learning any U.S. history before the aftermath of the Civil War could be deemed "a little bit unfair." Here's a clue for Ms Norton and her liberal progressive ilk, you concept of fairness will always be in sharp contrast to reality.

What's amazing is that's probably not even close to being the dumbest thing to come out of her mouth in recent years....dumb as a box of rocks is an understatement. Makes me glad that I live on the "right" side of the river. Bossier > Shreveport and it's not even close.

There is one video where she tries to introduce a bill for women's rights in the workplace. Another rep tries to explain that what she is trying to do already exists and is actually more inclusive than the one she has written. The part she didn't get was that the previous bill didn't use the word women, instead it kept repeating regardless of sex.

Longer version of her opposition

I get what Ms. Norton is trying to say here, but her ability to articulate it is laughable. She rambles on about how having kids recite this is unfair because Dr King wasn't even born at the time it was written.

She has a problem with the preamble stating "all men are created equal," yet at the time slavery existed here.

This is one of the founding documents of our country, and it's important to understand the context in which it was written. She could argue that children should be taught the context, but not act like this was some evil document.

The Declaration of Independence is one of the most important writings of all time.

However, making kids memorize it and repeat it every day isn't going to do any good. It should be taught and respected, but not turned into a memory task.

The shite our government tries to control... frick.

I have a problem with saying that she is equal to people with functioning brains.

I just watched this. I honestly don't know what to say. I've seen so many videos like this, but I still cannot wrap my head around the fact that these people can even put their pants on in the morning, let alone be a member of house of representatives
