That's how they keep them dumb enough to vote for guys like Rick Perry. It's no accident that the states with low education spending have the most right-wing politicians.

Not everyone is smart, dude. Deal with it.

this religious-education / sex-ed / pro-life vs pro-choice stuff is just a minor issue.
what would governor perry do to reduce the massive us deficit?
what would he do to end us imperialism across the globe?
what would he do to restore constitutional liberty to citizens of the us?
these are the questions that are easily brushed to the side because of sensationalist "OMG look at the INSANE beliefs of these GOP conservatives" articles like this one.
american politics is a shit show.
end rant

What's sadder is that fact that nearly all school book publishers work to adhere to Texas School Board of Educations standards because of how big the market is there. That means that the superstitious bullshit that these cretins believe ends up getting taught to kids across the country

The funny and depressing thing about the republican party is that their support base of voters is made up almost entirely of people who benefit the least from their ideology.
Democracy without a well-educated public will only serve to weaken a nation.

can't wait til these fundie constitutionalists are retired and broke, and have no healthcare.
took perry forever to ask for federal assistance when the northwest part of the state was on fire.. his policy then was to pray for rain.. seriously.
and in a few weeks he is holding a prayer rally in reliant stadium in houston to pander to the crazies..
i hate that fucker and his haircut.

explains a lot:
One Texas public school district's sex ed handout is entitled "Things to Look for in a Mate:"
I. How they relate to God
A. Is Jesus their first love?
B. Trying to impress people or serve God?

So do their parents raise them or does the system?
It's both.

haha, do understand though, this isn't representative of texas as a whole. more of the smaller towns/cities. more progressive cities like austin, for example would be devoid of most of this. dallas and houston too
