TX and evolution... this state is ass backwards
Every time I see stuff like this I just have to shake my head in disbelief and hope that the kids in our schools some how manage to discover the truth on their own because they sure as heck will not find it out in our school system so long as the religious right has a hand in the school boards.

If the religious right had their way, the earth would still be flat. I don't pay much attention to the stupid states of the south, but I always wonder how they explain the existance of "fossil" fuel.

As discussed many time before, the sheer size of Texas' educational book purchases for their schools leads to publishers "catering" to the Lone Star State's book reviewers. Since publishers don't sell just a "Texas Edition" other states wind up with the same books.
There have been expressions of this becoming part of history as more "e-books" find their way into the educational system, which would allow for a "Texas Only" edition to be easily distributed. |

Well, let's see that Texas board allow the teaching different theories of creationism other than the Christian version . . . in science classes . . . that will be the test of who is tolerant of differing beliefs.

What other forms of creationism? Like the created climate change scam?

Mainly it has to do with their complete lack of comprehension of what the phrase "Separation of church and state" means. If they want to teach a class called "Alternatives to Rational Thinking" then I welcome them to teach whatever the hell they want. When the class is called "Science" then science is what needs to be taught regardless of whether that conflicts with what you choose to believe.

I don't think it has much to do with the separation of religion and state. Most European countries don't have separation of church and state, yet they don't teach this nonsense in science classes. It's a failure to understand the difference between science and non-science. I bet you'd have a hard time finding a Catholic high school using a creationist text in a science class.

It's really a shame Tejas can't secede from the union as easily as Rick Perry thinks it can...

I wish they would. It would give me a reason to get the heck out of this insane asylum.
