    Idiot state rep Dan McGuire (R -- what else!?) has introduced a bill that would reduce the requirements for graduating from high school.

    The bill would reduce the requirements for schools to provide an adequate education, removing courses like art, music, world languages, engineering and technology, computer science, and personal finance literacy.

    It would also remove the requirement that social studies courses include civics, government, economics, history, geography, or Holocaust and genocide studies. The credits needed for a high school diploma would also be reduced from 13 to 8.

    Here's the kicker (from Ballotpedia):

    Dan McGuire earned a Ph.D. in electrical engineering and computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1986. McGuire's career experience includes working as an investor, a computer engineer, an assistant professor of computer engineering with the University of California at Santa Cruz, and a software development manager with 8x8, Inc.

        @wtg He was part of the original "Free State Project" here in NH, having moved from WA. We all know how that turned out. Look up the book, "A Libertarian Walks Into A Bear".
