South Carolina: Why we’re dumb, and why we’ll continue to be

It looks like we’ve just unleashed a whole boatload of stupidity here in South Carolina:

Kristin Maguire of Clemson was elected today to be the leader of the state Board of Education in 2009.

Maguire, who teaches her four daughters at home, was nominated from the floor during the panel’s regularly scheduled monthly meeting.

Who’s to blame? I blame the whole board – who elected Maguire via voice vote. I can only hope we regain some sense in South Carolina before my own daughter is old enough to attend school.

Sheesh.

Why is this a problem, aside from the obvious? See the causes Maguire supports here.

    When I say “boatload”, I mean something like this. 🙂
