Putting the 'Christ' BACK IN 'Christ! What the hell is wrong with these people?!' December 24, 2015 2:30 pm RL

An Arizona lawmaker who believes the Earth is 6,000 years old is the new chairwoman of the state Senate committee that oversees education-related legislation.

Republican Sen. Sylvia Allen of Snowflake has a gift for going viral with statements that would be edited out of most school textbooks:

- Buying into conspiracy theories surrounding “chemtrails” — exhaust from aircraft — and suggesting the government is manipulating the weather.

- Sharing her opinion that church attendance should be mandatory, during a legislative debate on whether concealed weapons should be allowed in public buildings (she voted for the bill).

- Declaring the Earth “has been here 6,000 years,” during a debate over allowing access to public lands for mining and other purposes.

Senate President Andy Biggs on Monday named Allen to lead a committee that acts as a gatekeeper for education-related legislation, such as Common Core and spending. Allen succeeds Sen. Kelli Ward, who resigned last week to run full-time in next year’s GOP primary against Sen. John. McCain.
