Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Iowa State Rep. Bobby Kaufmann elaborated on a bill he has put forth that would eliminate funding for so-called “safe spaces” at public schools. Among the reasons for Kaufmann’s effort included rising and skyrocketing tuition costs and such activities do not adequately prepare those learning for life, he said. “I saw schools with rising skyrocketing tuition costs were also finding new money and expenditures for things such as cry rooms,” he said. “I was hearing reports of rooms where you could play with Playdough and you could color on books and talk about your feelings. I was even hearing reports that some schools were bringing in ponies to be able to get students through the election. For me, that is a waste of taxpayer dollars and it also doesn’t prepare kids for life because in life, there’s winners and losers.”

Back in the late 70s, a farmer-legislator in the Iowa House of Representatives introduced a bill to ban “diagonal highways.”
Since most Iowa counties and farms had clear cut north and south borders, diagonal highways would carve up properties, he reasoned...

Actually, that's a really old rule since it cut through farms and that was a big no no. The locals always had a say in that.

Every Town is not Versaille.

Then there was the day of traffic circles. That was one big mess to drive in.

Don’t ya just love that title? Suck it up, Buttercup! What a title!

[generally]

Something is wrong in the school if the entire school is not a safe space. But of course I mean safe for all kids, not just the special few.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

They went ahead and approved the Marshalltown diagonal highway anyway.

More of this please.

[bgill]

Smart man. Now, lets see if the rest of the legislature is smart.

The state of Missouri will pay $9 million to settle the wrongful death of the Iowa college student arrested by the Water Patrol at Lake of the Ozarks...
