1954 Brown v. Board of Education…Mississippi’s response? “HUh, wHat’s that you say?”

And OOoopsy-daisy here we go again…it wasn’t until 2013 Mississippi realized they never took that pesky 13th amendment seriously either. The oversight was kind of a big deal however. Until February 7, 2013, the state of Mississippi had never submitted the required documentation to ratify the Thirteenth Amendment, meaning it never officially had abolished slavery.

Mississippi’s motto should be: “Keepin It 1865 Since Before We Could Count” or “Only Two Centuries Behind…But Coming Up Fast”

I for one am sick of TPM recycling old new stories just to get clicks! And pulling crap from, like, 1962? That’s beyond the pale and furthermore…

Wait, what? 2016 you say?

Do these “leaders” even know where Mississippi is socio-economically?

Unless private schools are free down there, not much chance of that.

Home-schooling now, that might become more of a thing. And with the racists teaching the younger generation…that’d be the kind of education that would make Trump University look good.

I fail to see the need for paying a private school hard earned money. How damned much time and money does it take to tell a kid Jesus rode a dinosaur, the Earth is 6000 years old and lady parts are the source of all evil? If that doesn’t ready them for life in Mississippi nothing will.

humans and dinosaurs DID NOT co-exist…
