Missouri State Senator Jolie Justus: "How Are You Going to Fix Our Schools?"

State Senator Justus writes what could be the most convoluted and equivocating bit of opinion regarding Kansas City Schools I've ever read. Here's a brief sample: "real change will not come to the school district until we address the issues from the top-down AND the bottom-up."

Pardon me for being so crass, but does that sound like some old weird lesbian sh*t to anybody else?

The less politicos talk, write and communicate in general . . . The better off we all are . . . Still, I'm a fan of the recent bill put forth by Justus that's making a bit of progress. The bill makes the KC School Board more accountable to the local electorate and stops these set-up appointments that are mostly used to install cronies.

As for the philosophy of Justus on KC Schools . . . I really wish she would have cut short her polemic because it reminded me of the same kind of silly liberalism that has already contributed to a generation of Kansas City School District Failure.

And while it may sound like a sessy way to spend an afternoon . . . Nobody has time to play nice with professional, well-educated lesbians . . . There needs to be drastic, radical and quick change to KC School District that should probably come in the form of a state takeover . . . Other than that, any way for students to get out of the clutches of the mostly corrupt School Board is the second best option . . . At this point a consensus of politicos is probably the worst thing imaginable . . . Parents and students with the means have been voting with their feet for years which has translated to the ongoing steady decline in enrollment . . . As for the last, poor, remaining souls in the District . . . This town is finished listening to pie-in-the-sky hope for change when virtually every idea from the local political establishment that collaborates with the district - rather than dismantling it - Has just become another facet of Kansas City school failure.

  1. Justus needs to get back to buttering her corn and get the hell out of office.

    I see her out and at events all the time and I always notice hardly anyone speaks to her.

    She does nothing for the district she represents.

  2. Anonymous at 8:49 clearly knows nothing of Jolie Justus, her work and what she has done and is doing for her district. Clearly.

    He or she (not enough guts to put a moniker on their criticism) needs to follow her work on FB or Twitter, then speak, frankly.

    As for this bill that just passed, this is HUGE and it's going to get even bigger, once it starts. It stuns me it apparently isn't in the Star today.

  3. 10:29 obviously doesn't know their ass from hole in the ground because anything Justus proposes is virtually guaranteed to die on the vine.

    I would put up a fiddy on a bet that says this goes nowhere.

  4. Have to agree with 3:35 - The State just doesn't want to take responsibility here.

  5. Wake up, Anonymous. Your affection for baseless criticism demonstrates your complete inattention to how important Justus is to this District.

    Start here: http://www.senate.mo.gov/09info/bts_web/sponsoredby.aspx?SessionType=R&legislatorid=230

    These are the bills Justus has SPONSORED this year alone. And while there are a few that are annual Liberal Dem efforts, many of these bills have made it out of committee and have excellent opportunities for passing the House and the Senate this session or next. For example, the Missour Earned Income Tax Credit, or increasing child care subsidies.

    Read up before tossing out your factless dissing. It only makes you look dumber to not have any foundation for an already poorly developed, hyperbolic blog comment.

    And use a name you gutless twats.

  6. A fiscally conservative, exocartonic thinking superintedent could make more progress in reforming the way education is administered and received in the community than someone from a cubicle in Jefferson City who read a textbook about "How To Educate".

  7. Haha.

    Bryan is right, we need a real superintendent this time. I wish The Star would do more reporting on who they really are.
