I feel like not understanding basic things like that should get you fired. The Education Commissioner and Governor of the State of Missouri have demonstrated a lack of understanding of basic technologies. At this point, that means they lack core competencies to do their job, and should be fired.

I would totally not expect an old white guy politician to be up on web protocols. No worries about that.

Memories of Mitt Romney appearing to actually dig into tunneling and adhesives during an investigation of Big Dig flaws in Massachusetts. He might have been posturing but at least it was the right posture.
