The GOP has been trying to destroy public education for almost fifty years. Their policies only benefit a tiny segment of the population (the very wealthy) while seriously hurting everyone else. They could never hold power if voters were well educated, particularly in critical thinking skills.

These apparently stupid side shows may look ridiculous, and they are, but every one of them damages the educational system. That is the point.
