Many of us wonder how many of those who voted read anything at all.
The state board is elected by districts. And this is a conservative,

Except for my little democrat corner, up here in KC. So few people bother to

to get a foothold. I'll just keep teaching about Buddhism in my classroom,
nobody seems to notice.
