"If we as a society continue operating out of convenience by choosing when and when not to abide by constitutional amendments the very fabricate of freedom we enjoy will weaken? After all, the fabric of freedom is based on words on fancy paper."
Among many of the critical issues that are facing us today, Goader may have drawn attention to one of the basic reasons that these issues have indeed become critical.
It would seem apparent that abiding by the words written on fancy paper would and should be held to a high standard. Constitutional amendments written on fancy paper should far and away have more clout than a 3M sticky note on your front door saying to mow your lawn.
I can think of a few sources of paper that have been the cause of concern of how the words on them are abided by. For instance, federal tax codes, banking industry regulations and business/employee contracts of Big Blue companies would be a source of concern. The words written on the letterheads of HCPS and PCS regarding teacher contracts would be one. Robert's Rules of Order would be one. Hiring and firing procedures and policies would be one. The paper that grading curves are written on would be one. And of course my favorite, true compliance with IDEA 2004 would be one.
Goader brings to light in the pulp mill of life the germane question regarding words on paper. By posing this question of proclivity to papyrus, one must wonder if the fancy paper is folded or simply wadded before it is flushed down the toilet.

Sometimes I think we celebrate the parchment on one hand while breaching it on the other.
Politicians talk out of both sides of their mouths.
I like April Griffin but the very idea that we can be "flexible" with a constitutional amendment speaks volumes.
The former chair of the board wants to be "flexible" with the first amendment of the US constitution.
Due process flexibility. Isn't that what they want to do with you Goader?
Same as it ever was.
They see nothing wrong with it.

Florida tutoring companies won’t get grades after all
"The state won’t be handing out grades by March 1, as was mandated by the state Legislature last year. "
Apparently, if you don't like the formula in the law, you can reject it and hand it back to lawmakers so that it can be made more palatable.
