Time to Teach Civics in Kansas

It looks like we need to make sure they teach in Kansas not just evolution but also civics. Think Progress reports on newly elected Rep. Nancy Boyda (D-KS) saying she'd support a troop surge. I think that's a bad idea but her statements are worse than that. "I think we’re going to vote to support what the commander in chief and head of military asks to do." She also said that Bush is Commander in Chief and "Congress doesn’t make that decision". Apparently she doesn't understand our governement system at all or the separation of powers. Pretty frightening for a member of Congress. If they have to do what the President says, why does she think there's a Congress at all?
