Quote from IShopAtPublix:
Texas is our version of Saudi Arabia. Had oil not been found Texas would have been nothing. A very backward state with an emphasis on executions. Is it any wonder W was governor there?
Personally I don't care if they teach that earthquakes are god's wrath in texas. Texas can burn to the ground for all I care.
USA's elite univerities are in the Northeast+California.

You can put what you want in a text but if you think Texans believe what they read in a book, I doubt it.

You haven't been to Texas in a while. I was just told by my wife that the bible is a science book. And if there is a dispute between science and the bible, then the bible is right. She's not the brightest bulb in the house.
There are many here with the same bible thumping ways. Admittedly I'm in far west Texas where the views are further right than most places. Rednecks and racists everywhere.
Like it or not, there is always some oversight body that dictates school textbook content. And so, the only question is, who should do it? Would you like your children's education to be entrusted to fringe crazies?Quote from Mom0/pH0x:
yes, because naturally we must have SOME body which will dictate the content of books.... the thought police will never be effective otherwise...
