Back from the brink of lunacy

Here's good news: the Judson ISD school board is smarter than its know-nothing district superintendent.

A suburban San Antonio school board has reversed the superintendent's ban of a critically acclaimed science fiction novel.

By a 5-2 vote, the Judson school district board Thursday overruled Superintendent Ed Lyman's ban of the novel The Handmaid's Tale from an advanced placement English curriculum.

The vote came after nearly three hours of public comment, including that of Judson High School students.

The Judson board is also smarter than the dunderheads in California who've banned Clifford the Big Red Dog.
