Woman Who Wants To Control Texas Education Thinks Preschool Makes Kids Gay

From the "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" Department:

SUMTE, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 02: Children's toys and furntiure stand in the kindergarten in a former office park that later today will become short-term accommodation for migrants on November 2, 2015 in Sumte, Germany. Sumte, a farming village located southwest of Hamburg, has a population of 102, and starting later today it is to receive 500 migrants who will be housed in an abandoned office park on the village edge. The number of migrants at the shelter could reach up to 750 in coming weeks as Germany struggles to accommodate the unrelenting flood of migrants arriving at a rate of thousands per day. Authorities are distributing migrants seeking asylum in Germany at shelters nationwide, both in urban centers and in small, rural communities. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
