You’d think Adam could find SOMEONE among the DemoDisneyDixiecrats to run against Ed Clere who isn’t a teacher, a former teacher or married to a teacher. I mean, the law of averages, (center) right?
Don’t get me wrong. My mother was a teacher, and I grew up around teachers. I made various ineffectual attempts to be a teacher, and often have pretended to be a (beer) teacher. Ed’s wife Amy is a teacher. I respect teachers immensely.

In the latest batch of diagnostic reviews released Monday, the state recommended that Engelhard Elementary Principal Ryan McCoy, Trunnell Elementary Principal Stephanie Smith and Young Elementary Principal Erica Lawrence be removed from their schools and reassigned to comparable positions.
Lawrence is a Democratic candidate for Indiana’s House of Representatives, challenging Republican Rep. Ed Clere for his seat representing the New Albany area.
