Stuperintentent of Public Instruction

WARNING: Political con­tent ahead.

Like they say, all pol­i­tics are local, so here is a won­der­ful slice of Arizona pol­i­tics via Think Progress. The long and short of it is that the Republican can­di­date for Arizona’s Superintendent of Public Instruction John “who needs to actu­ally fund edu­ca­tion” Huppenthal was, him­self, schooled when a high school stu­dent con­fronted him about his abysmal record regard­ing fund­ing education.

Like a typ­i­cal GOP tool, when faced with the truth Huppenthal ran off in a huff and declared that he was being “punked” by Democratic dirty tricks. I sup­pose that this just demon­strates that Arizona doesn’t just hate the bean­ers. It hates an edu­cated pop­u­lous too.
