Alabama’s governor makes surprising — and scary — education appointment - The Washington Post

Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley has tapped someone to your state’s Board of Education who never attended public schools, publicly declared that his children never will either, and actively supported a successful effort to defeat a vote on a school tax in a divisive campaign in his home county?

Bentley, a Republican, named Matthew Brown, a 28-year-old design engineer at the Baldwin County Highway Department, to the Alabama State Board of Education. Brown graduated in 2007 from Pensacola Christian College and attended Cumberland School of Law at Samford University, graduating in 2011.
,,,
Now, Bentley has appointed Brown, a man with absolutely no history of participation of even interest in helping public schools to represent his district on the state Board of Education.  In his announcement statement, Bentley said that he was “honored” to appoint Brown, who would bring “a unique perspective to the position.” Unique indeed.

As public education activist Larry Lee noted in a post on his education blog, Bentley “has appointed someone to state board of education with no known involvement ever with public schools (did not attend them and says his kids will not) and who led the battle in [March] to defeat a school tax vote in his home county and wants us to believe this is the best candidate in seven counties to make decisions about a statewide system with a $4.1 billion budget and 90,000 employees.”

Still think the 7 Mountains Mandate doesn't exist?  As I have noted before, 

Dominionism exist, there is no denying it regardless  of what some in the Reich may say.  Its "modern" roots can be traced primarily to Francis Schaefer, Bill Bright of Campus Crusade for Christ fame and Loren Cunningham, founder of Youth With a Mission; the time frame was the mid 70s.  Each were given a message:

That message was that if we are to impact any nation for Jesus Christ, then we would have to affect the seven spheres, or mountains of society that are the pillars of any society.

These seven mountains are business, government, media, arts and entertainment, education, the family and religion. There are many subgroups under these main categories,,, In essence, God was telling these three change agents where the battlefield was. It was here where culture would be won or lost. Their assignment was to raise up change agents to scale the mountains and to help a new generation of change agents understand the larger story.

In regards to education, one must consider this,,,

The rise of the "voucher program" to fund private schooling and the increased push in the home school movement; both precipitated by funding cuts for public education.  "Teach the controversy" as well as Steve Green's initiative for a 4-year Bible-based curriculum also fall into this category.

How else can one explain the undermining of trust in public schools than to install leaders who are completely incompetent.
