Another thinly veiled anti-Christian insult. Tell you what, go read the U.S. Constitution until it sinks in.
If they want to teach the kids the Wicca religion instead of science, is that OK? Community standards and all that.
Show me in the Constitution where it says that the Federal Govt is in charge of enforcing science curriculum. This is a free country - this isn't China or N. Korea or Cuba. In this country, there is individual freedom. If people in some backwoods Manhattan (hehe) community want to teach Wicca, the govt has no right to stop them. The people rule in this country, not a group of 9 black-robed oligarchs. The issue is personal freedom! Get that thru your head. I don't give a flip what you think about my community - you don't live here and you have no right to tell us how to live. Get that thru your thick skull.
So I'm not allowed an opinion on the content of schoolbooks in Texas, but the opinion of the Discovery Institute of Seattle, funded by unnamed millionaires from site unknown, would seem to be most welcome. Is Seattle in Texas now?
