Hastings has advocated eliminating local elected school boards because of the continuous upheaval with directors serving limited terms and constantly having any decisions they make overturned by patrons who disagree and elect board members who are more in agreement with their positions and beliefs.

Amazing how easy it is to buy a politician and then mess up children with charter schools all to make a extra buck. Seems that Missouri is for sale for everything from shoddy school construction, poor roads, charter schools for profit, politicians for profit, chicken farms to ruin the environment, forced pregnancies, poor legislation to keep labor rates low and keeping the kids down on the farm in menial jobs. Sad place to raise a kid with poor examples of parents. Oh, late address to the drugs being made and sold here. Wait, there is a solution, attract immigrants who cannot voice discontent and put them to work versus our own kids having to accept responsibility for their actions. What a bunch of maroons.
