I’m from Texas, born and raised.
I was not taught creationism in school.
I hate the stereotype that all Texans are ignorant bible thumpers.
For the most part that mind set is dying out with the generations before mine.

So instead of teaching that the universe is 12-14 billion years old, they are going to teach that it is theoretically 12-14 billion years old. OH NO KICK TEXAS OUT OF THE UNION

These people are not stupid, they are brainwashed, huge difference. I use to be extremly religouse, now I’m atheist. It was very difficult getting over religion, especially dealing with a religiouse family. Point is, calling them names, belitteling them, does nothing for you, only makes them look at you as a fool. There are more and more people wising up to religion, so just be patient, and science will slowly win the war, after all, our sun is only half it’s age, we got another 4 billion years to figure this out.

The bigger question might be, “Is this really how educational matters are decided?” Do they spend an hour debating and voting on every sentence of every text book?

When government runs our schools, politicians will take every opportunity to tweak the system, whether for ideological reasons or just to win votes. Lucky for them, the two almost always overlap. It works both ways. How many thousands of cumulative child-years have been wasted by the kids of this nation watching their choir teacher put a condom on a zucchini in “health” class? (Is it really so damn difficult?)

For a significant portion of the nation’s children, government schools are nothing more than publicly funded, babysitting robot factories. And just about everyone sees them as a GREAT BIG SUCCESS! Honestly, for me and just about everyone I know, living on the street for twelve years would have been more rewarding than throwing away the best years of our lives in the prison that is public school.

Hoping that one day “smart people” will assume permanent control of our government and bring about a centrally-planned utopia is a disastrous experiment that’s going to take centuries to fail. How many more USSRs, North Koreas, and Cubas do we need before we start to notice the pattern?

…but yeah, no doubt. She’s definitely a dummy. There’s no defending that knuckledragger.

Holy Science! I am so sick of dealing with these bible thumping freaks in Texas. I am a Texan all the way but the BTF’s (bible thumping freaks) drive me nuts. Give good ol’ Texans like me a bad name. I am a tech geek and love science. My 2 young boys might do learn science the right way. Jesus is more muted in my home than others.

To Mark Hansen, do a google search for “Thymerasol” You should be able to find that it is a mercury based preservative used in vaccinations, for at least the past 25 years. Your comment is funny after reading that, huh?
