Connie Morris: Going Out in Style
According to The Wichita Eagle, Connie Morris plans to go out in style:
According to the Eagle, Morris' trip to Minnesota is to attend a conference for a group called EdWatch, Education for a FREE nation.
The conference will feature speakers on subjects such as how international baccalaureate undermines U.S. citizenship; how mental health screening affects gun ownership rights [just because you're nuts doesn't mean you shouldn't have a gun -- preferably an automatic].
The Edwatch website says:
Taxpayers will pay for outgoing State Board of Education member Connie Morris to take two trips weeks before she leaves office.
Morris, a Republican from St. Francis, plans to travel to Bloomington, Minn., in October and Washington, D.C., Dec. 16-23, two weeks before her term expires.

The Edwatch website says:
- EdWatch is committed to educating the public about the unprecedented movement of the U.S. workforce, the U.S. economy and the entire educational system toward a centrally planned and controlled federal system.
- EdWatch is working with business leaders to alert them to the undermining of America's free market economy and constitutional freedoms by the restructuring of education and the workforce.
- EdWatch is working with parents toward a broad, knowledge-based education that meets the objectives of parents, schools, school boards and businesses.
Connie's last road trip created quite a stir with the lavish accomodations -- some $339 a night -- she booked for herself in Miami
