High School Journalist Demolishes AZ State Senator

You'd think a State Senator who's served 17 consecutive years on the State Senate Education Committee would be better informed about state education than a high school student. In this case, you'd be wrong.

High school journalist Keith Wagner, in an interview with Arizona State Senator John Huppenthal about Huppenthal's bid for State Superintendent of Public Instruction, asks a few basic questions about massive budget cuts to Career and Technical Education funding and ends up utterly embarrassing the State Senator, who appears to know less about his own voting record than the student journalist.

Huppenthal, whose website calls him "one of Arizona's leading authorities on education issues," tells his young interviewer in the video, below, how important Career and Technical Education programs are, and that the budget cuts to the programs are "simply horrendous."

I don't believe for one second that this dude doesn't remember his own voting record. What happened is that someone exposed his voting record which makes hims a hypocrite for saying he is in favor of education while he is undercutting it. He couldn't resort to political babble to worm his way out of the questions when the kid presented him with evidence.

@pseudohippie55 This was not about him lying. It was about him cutting down on funding. He wasn't given the chance to lie. Don't blame the senator. Blame the president.

@gunniesack But lies do not need to be made. Especially by Senators

[gunniesack]

The country is going broke.  Cuts need to be made.
