Thank God, too. The now-well-documented school choice hater was caught in another enlightening moment of bias. Tuesday she exposes accusing online students of being too lazy to go to class. Nice. Thanks, from a online student’s dad!

A Senate committee struck down an online schools bill Tuesday, a day after the sponsor was criticized for calling some online students lazy.
Sen. Sue Windels, D-Arvada, said her bill was intended to bring greater oversight to online schools, which have been plagued with problems.

But the Senate Appropriations Committee voted 6-4 against the bill, with two Denver Democrats joining Republicans.

Sen. Jennifer Veiga said she has concerns with the funding. And Sen. Peter Groff, a school- choice supporter, said he was offended by her comments about online students, which she wrote in an e-mail to a school director. He said he feared her measure was punitive.

At least Senate Bill 215 isn’t going anywhere now.

Monday she was even asked to step down from her position over the inflamatory comments.

“Some students are lazy and I think they enrolled (in online schools) because they thought they could sleep in late,” she said.

Windbag.
