I Love School Board Meetings Now

The one leaving Don Lemon slackjawed was a topper for certain.
There are the Darwin Awards for those idiotic enough to remove themselves from the gene pool in the most fantastic methods.
I'm beginning to think there should be a contest for these ill informed goofballs that survive but just don't "get it". What sort of title would better suit than Darwin... hmm...
