my kids ain't going to no steem classes. This liberalism at its best. Instead, we go to the Tea Party meeting to listen to good God fearing folks.
Who needs this going green thing - liberal scientists.
I'm concerned that the kids who need this most are not attending. Any stats on how many students hail from the "other side of the tracks". You know the areas.
I agree with 8:43. Glen Beck said that global warming does not exist. Who needs scientific proof.
