QuoteHouse Bill 2366, introduced into the House Energy and Environment Committee, would prevent any state funds from being "used, either directly or indirectly, to promote, support, mandate, require, order, incentivize, advocate, plan for, participate in or implement sustainable development."

I'm not convinced that this is stupidity. Hanlon's razor actually cuts both ways so I'm gonna restate it

Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by cupidity

Well, naturally it stems from greed, stupid, self-defeating greed.

This is one of those ones that i would love to see creatively interpreted.  For instance, as timber is a sustainable resource no money can be allowed to go to state forestry. The department in charge of managing hunting and fishing needs to be shut down, since that is also sustainable ecological management.

I told you guys, legislation has been reduced to "WE'LL SHOW THEM!", on both sides of the aisle. 

Legislation as AM radio.  Nicely done, America.

It gets more stupid at the bottom of the bill, where it defines sustainable development:

Quote"sustainable development" means a mode of human development in which resource use aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for generations to come, but not to include the idea, principle or practice of conservation or conservationism.

The bill doesn't bother to define conservation/conservationism, of course.

I want to know who actually wrote it, but all I can see so far is that it came out of the Committee on Energy and Environment.

QuoteOn Monday, the Republican-controlled Missouri House of Representatives passed an Agenda 21 ban, following a debate that included discussion of whether the state should also ban space aliens.

That sounds about right.

my bad that was missouri, who was having the space aliens talk. Apparently they have already forbidden sustainable development.

Although honestly I don't know any back story on agenda 21 so I could be off base, although it seems rather benign. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agenda_21

QuoteAgenda 21 is a non-binding, voluntarily implemented action plan of the United Nations with regard to sustainable development.[1]

Agenda 21 is the new conspiracy freak bogeyman.  They bill it as a means by which to provoke a dieback of 70-80% of the population.

Lo, fourscore and 20 years ago, the hidden leaders of the world, known as "the United Nations", gathered in secret, sacrificed good Christian Children to the Marxist Satan and drank their blood and then declared "though shalt take steps to not entirely fuck up the environment.  Here are a number of non-legally binding suggestions we would like you to consider".

And thus did evil enter the heart of America.

Apparently this bill has been defeated in other states. http://www.una-okc.blogspot.com/2013/04/you-are-awesome.html

The SB23 in Oklahoma is particularly insidious, fortunately it was one of the ones struck down.
QuoteSenate Bill 23 Would Prohibit Universities and State Agencies from Purchasing Reports or Resources from the World Meteorological Organization, the World Health Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization, UNESCO, the World Food Programme, and Any Other "Non-Governmental or Inter-Governmental Organization Defined in Agenda 21"

It's not real education if you look at just ANYTHING.
