Kentucky gov: 'I guarantee' children sexually assaulted, poisoned because of teacher protestsBY JOSH DELK - 04/14/18 09:17 AM EDT
Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin (R) suggested Friday that children were physically harmed because they were at home during the statewide teacher strikes, when teachers gathered at the capitol to protest school funding.
I guarantee you somewhere in Kentucky today a child was sexually assaulted that was left at home because there was nobody there to watch them," said Bevin, who sought to shut down bills aimed at expanding the state education budget. "I guarantee you somewhere today, a child was physically harmed or ingested poison because they were home alone because a single parent didn't have enough money to take care of them."
Bevin reportedly complained of the teachers sprawled across the capitol grounds, telling reporters he saw them smoking and "leaving trash around."
Because of the protests, "hundreds of thousands of children" were likely left at home without childcare, he said.

He doesn't see them as educators, he sees them as babysitters.
Ps....thank god there is not one child molested or hurt that is home schooled, off to private school, or off on Summer break...oh wait......

With scum suckers like Blevins and Mitch McConnell, I seriously question the mental competence of the average Kentucky voter.

When the teaparty showed up in DC a few years back, Matt's buddies, the people who had lived in DC described them as idiots.
No class, no brains, completely useless and horrible.
Matt is one of them. What a disgrace

for summer vacation? Winter break? Spring break?
That man is illogical.
