Michele Bachmann Comes Out Against Four-Day School Week

Looking to save some bucks on fuel, a school district in western Minnesota is switching to a four-day school week. Leave it to Minnesota’s favorite wingnut to frame the move as an example of liberal treachery/ineptitude/what have you. Writes Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-6th District) on her blog:

Another fine example of the everyday impact of the Democrat Congress' failure to address the issue of energy with any substantial piece of legislation. Sadly, our school districts are putting into practice the close relative of the gas plan of Barack Obama and other Democrats -- "get off the road and drive less." What's next, staying home from school all together? This is no solution.

She’s right. Staying home is no solution. Unless, of course, the problem is a secularized curriculum. In which case, staying home is the perfect solution— every one of Bachmann’s biological children was homeschooled. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
