Comments on: Texas: not so doomed? http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/01/08/texas-not-so-doomed-2/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

I have had devout Christian teachers, but they never push their religion into their lessons or try to favor their own opinions over the required course teachings.
