Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA) argued that we don't need to spend money on education... because ancient Greece!
During a House Education and Workforce Committee proceeding on Wednesday to reauthorize the nation's elementary and secondary education law, Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA) said, "Socrates trained Plato in on a rock and then Plato trained in Aristotle roughly speaking on a rock. So, huge funding is not necessary to achieve the greatest minds and the greatest intellects in history."
He began his remarks by saying, "The greatest thinkers in Western civ were not products of education policy," before mentioning Socrates and Plato. He later went on to say that he thinks the answer to improving education in this country "would be to get private sector folks into every one of our schools, get the CEOs in the schools and move beyond this just narrow policy debate and really have a revolution."

Montana state Rep. David Moore (R) tried unsuccessfully to ban yoga pants.
According to the AP, the Republican introduced a bill Tuesday that would extend the already-existing indecent exposure law to include any article of clothing that reveals the nipples -- men's or women's -- or "gives the appearance or simulates" one's buttocks, genitals or pelvic area.
"Yoga pants should be illegal in public anyway," Moore said, according to the AP.
Moore's proposal is a response to a a naked bike ride that occurred in Missoula, Montana, in August. According to NBC Montana, more than 200 people participated in the ride.
And, speaking of body parts...
South Carolina state Sen. Thomas Corbin (R) chewed out his lone female colleague.
Corbin's comments – made at a legislative dinner held in downtown Columbia, S.C. – were reportedly directed at S.C. Senator Katrina Shealy, the only female member of the 46-person State Senate. [...]
"I see it only took me two years to get you wearing shoes," Corbin told Shealy, who was elected in 2012 as a petition candidate. [...]
At one point in the conversation – which quickly escalated into a confrontation – Shealy is said to have angrily asked Corbin where he "got off" attacking women.
His response – overheard by numerous lobbyists and fellow lawmakers – was one for the ages.
"Well, you know God created man first," Corbin said, reportedly smirking at Shealy. "Then he took the rib out of man to make woman. And you know, a rib is a lesser cut of meat."
I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
