Texas just happens to be a hotbed for them. Getting rid of Texas will not solve this problem, however, just make a dent.<br /><br />The way to combat this is to simply make it known how off base they are. For example...the media should not say "Texas School Book Assholes (is that their official name?) have reduced the role Thomas Jefferson played in our foounding." Instead the headline should read, "Religious people believe the man who singlehandedly wrote our Declaration of Independance, served as US ambassador to France at a time when we needed France as an ally AND our served as our 3rd president, did not play a large role in our founding."Huffy1166https://www.blogger.com/profile/03597717256407157997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-14189491731690210962010-06-03T09:08:28.740-04:002010-06-03T09:08:28.740-04:00try getting these fundie theocrats to read real hi...try getting these fundie theocrats to read real history, Tom.

The Trinity Baptist Church in NH is at the center of 1997 teen rape case.<br /><br />Tina Anderson was a scared 15-year-old rape victim who was raped by another adult church member who she was baby sitting for.<br /><br />But the Baptist church in which her mother had taken her to, summoned her, by church leaders, to stand before her congregation and apologize for getting pregnant out of wedlock.<br /><br />"I was completely humiliated," Anderson said, her voice quavering at the memory. "I hoped it was a nightmare I'd wake up from, and it wouldn't be true anymore."<br /><br />Anderson was sent to Colorado and was home-schooled, had no contact with students her own age and was told by her pastors not to discuss what happened to her in New Hampshire.<br /><br />She placed her daughter, born in March 1998, up for adoption at Phelps' urging, with a family he had chosen.<br /><br />Below is the link to read more.

I'm proud to call myself a Texan. I'm proud to be a graduate of the University of Texas which, I must emphasize, is an oasis for free thinkers and helped lead me out of the bondage of the religious brain washing in which I was raised. There are excellent minds and excellent educational institutions here, ya'll :) Given the history of our state attracting independent pioneers like Sam Houston and Davey Crockett, you would think that Texas would have become a bastion for free thinkers and non-theists. Sadly, this is not the case. I have no explanation for it other than one generation of the religiously mindless brainwashing the next. I'm sickened by the decisions the Texas Board of Education has made. The only consolation is that McLeroy has been voted off. And to him I say, you have no place in the 21st century, Mr. McLeroy. You are a disgrace to the state of Texas. I abhor your small-minded, backward, uneducated non-thinking ways! Please go away and leave our text books alone. Mr. McLeroy, you are an idiot!

Technology is meant to be used and heck, let's save some trees. <br /><br />Second, there is a potential scary side to this. Think about how easy it is to modify most documents and then re-save them. Unless there are some truly magical safeguards on the technology then we're going to be in the same boat in the long run. Certain cerebral-spastic educators will feel free to exercise their editorial pen upon these e-textbooks and oh boy, here come the lawsuits from pissed off parents. <br /><br />A published, printed paper book has some editorial scrutiny before being handed out en masse. <br /><br />Quite a few of the 'textbooks' my two boys will be using this next year in virtual school are in this virtual format. I'll be watching their content closely. <br /><br />Hump: always a pleasure to get in on the good fight.Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10724264061719518367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-43391750105484518522010-05-24T23:29:27.438-04:002010-05-24T23:29:27.438-04:00The ABC news reporter asked the Texas school board...The ABC news reporter asked the Texas school board chairman (now retired, interestingly) how he could claim that the US was founded on Xtian principles, when there is no mention of Xtianity in the US Constitution? "No problem. Same thing." he blustered avoiding the question while pretending to answer it. The reporter screwed up his face and stared at him for a telling moment.

If I notice any shenanigans with our books I'll pull them out of public school entirely and homeschool them. I really don't have the energy to create a syllabus but by DOG if I have to then I will get up the willpower somehow. I feel like I've fought enough this year over religious issues in our central Florida elementary school for a lifetime. (The religious tract being sent home wasn't the only thing that happened.)<br /><br />Yeah. Let's find new interesting ways to trample on the Constitution, Texas. If our kids get suspended for holding a prayer circle then why are they suddenly able to talk about creationism in TEXTbooks?! Fuck em. Let em build a fence around themselves and write their own damn laws. Anyone with over a 100 IQ better leave Texas before that fence goes up because as soon as the padlock snaps shut their reality will regress at least 100 years. Antibiotics? What? Never heard of 'em. Might want to toss the polygamous Mormons in with them, too. They've always wanted their own state, anyway. <br /><br />Anyone who has read my blog will see that I am a religious individual. Not crazy. Highly intelligent. But in touch with my 'conscience', if you will. Our country was founded on the premise that publicly funded schools be free of religious indoctrination of any type. This is what the founding fathers wanted. It is a well thought out opportunity they've given us: the ability to learn the facts which can be proven in a collective environment while practicing our own religion(if we have one) in the privacy of our own home. It works! It's not broken! Don't try to fix if if it's not broken. <br /><br />We shouldn't trample on the freedom to think independently. Next thing you know non-Christians will be wearing colored armbands, sitting in the back of the bus, and drinking from different water fountains. 'Cause you know... Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Atheists, and all the rest of those heathens are contagious. Wouldn't want your kids to get infected and go to Hell, right? <br /><br />Hump, thanks for creating a post on this news. I know I found it and linked you to it originally(tripped over the article), but I have to say that I know more about what's going on in the world because I read your blog, than what I would otherwise.
