    the Texas Board of Eduction
    if the right insists on politicizing eduction, school boards may find themselves defending more lawsuits, which can be expensive. the school board in Dover, Pennsylvania, spent no small amount of money defending the teaching of creationism in its public schools.

    Sigh....
    Why does everyone feel the need to constantly spin things for their own side. Is it really so hard for Texas to get a non-biased group together to study this issue? This is the third article I have read on this Texas issue. Hey Texas, you are being a little TOO right wing on this issue. The whole country is watching you, we see what you are doing.

    I love that quote
    "A government that can give you ALL that you want can take from you, ALL that you have"..........
    and I love Reagan but that is a Thomas Jefferson quote! ;)

    Well Really, Who Cares?
    "Texas" is a flavor. I'd suggest that the faster they spice up their education system, the faster will be the decay, right? Even in the best case, our public education system amounts to little more than nationalistic brainwashing. Any challenging intellectual stimulation was removed long ago, if it ever existed in the first instance. A person isn't going to learn anything meaningful in a Texas OR New York public school, so why not let them be colorful? Can you really get worked up about this? Like all things "public" in America, education is an industry segment - in this case book publishing. Publishers just want to sell books - - any kind of book to anyone. School systems are the buyers, and whatever the buyer wants, they'll get. If humans are going to stop educating themselves when the graduate high school or college, the species is doomed anyway. So what if the Texans will die embracing Phyllis Schafly, or McCarthy?
