Looks like education in Arizona is screwed.
Who would be stupid enough to appoint this Bible-thumping moron in the first place?
The GOP, of course.
Arizona GOP taps creationist chemtrail truther to lead Senate education committee
An Arizona lawmaker who believes the earth is only 6,000 years old and that the U.S. government regularly sprays its citizens with mind-controlling chemtrails has been selected to lead an Arizona legislative committee overseeing education.
Sen. Sylvia Allen (R-Snowflake), was selected by fellow Republican and Senate president Andy Biggs to chair of the Arizona Senate Education Committee, according to 12News. The committee acts as a gatekeeper for education-related laws, including Common Core and spending.
She understands what Arizona students and parents need in our education system, Biggs told reporters in a prepared statement. She is a very experienced legislator and I know she will do a wonderful job.
According to AZCentral, Allen attended high school but did not go to college. She helped found a charter school in her home town of Snowflake.
In March, Allen made national news when she derailed a discussion about gun legislation to suggest a law that forces Americans to go to church on Sundays.
In March 2013, she wrote an addled Facebook post about her belief the government was purposely poisoning its citizens with chemicals sprayed by airplanes, confusing white contrails left by aircraft with chemical trails.
