I’m too tired to do justice to this piece by George Will. He is literally complaining about student elections at a Bethesda elementary school because they don’t allow the kids to make promises or to talk smack about their opponents. See, Bethesda is in Montgomery County, which is filled with liberals who work for the federal government. And this elementary school is the laboratory churning out little do-gooders who don’t believe in free speech. Seriously. He wrote it. Fred Hiatt published it. I read it. God help me.

Doesn’t he have a baseball game to watch or something?
You should have known better than to read anything by George Will, but I guess it was your job. Hope you had a barf bag handy.
I’ve heard of kids being sexualised far too young, but now he wants to politicise them as well?
George who?

“I’ll tell you who is an attractive man: George Will.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. He has clean looks, scrubbed and shampooed and… “
“He’s smart.”
“No, no, I don’t find him all that bright.”
I remember one student election in elementary school. The voting was strictly boys against girls. I wished I had won, but certainly didn’t think it deserved the attention of the national press.
