Very interesting:

Two House Republicans pulled from committee over education reform clash

Two House Republicans have been pulled from a committee because of their votes blocking education reform legislation.

Missouri House Speaker Tim Jones said he removed Rep. Denny Hoskins of Warrensburg and Rep. Jeff Messenger of Republic from the House Fiscal Oversight Committee because they voted on policy, rather than the fiscal analysis, of legislation that would create a new educator evaluation system and change teacher tenure….

Is some of that HRCC money going to fund a primary in the 54th House District in 2014? Just asking.

Yeah, right, Representative Denny Hoskins (r), friend of public school teachers:

Say it ain’t so (July 19, 2012)

….Maybe it’s eleventh dimensional chess and Missouri NEA has concocted an e-vile plot to neutralize future republican attacks on public sector organized labor by bestowing their endorsement upon them.

Somehow that doesn’t seem like a workable plan….

When the elephants fight it is the grass which gets trampled.

Like this is going end well for public education? I wouldn’t hold your breath.
