Isn't it time to abolish the Texas State Board of Education?

Their ideologically motivated shenanigans are an embarrassment. The latest flap over Islam in texts is just the latest in a long series of transparent moves. LINK LINK

Demagoguery Re the Islamic center near 9-11 site.

Many Republican candidates and current officials and some Democrats are speaking out against a proposed Islamic Center near the 9-11 site. This is sheer, unacceptable demagoguery. Only a tiny fraction of a fraction of Muslims are terrorists. There is no need to tar an entire religion. This is unacceptable in a society that supposedly values religious freedom. I guess, religious freedom is only for some religions. What hypocrisy! A sad commentary on how important First Amendment values are to many of our politicians. LINK
