A (metaphorical) call to arms!
KANSAS IS INVADING TEXAS. Our own wingnuts, the indigenous variety, have started a movement to get control of text books. Here is the number one buffoon, the leader of the wingnut school board, the primary threat to logic, to science, to a society post Renaissance, of knowledge: Republican Terri Leo of Spring, TX. To the right is a picture of her. Memorize it! Know the enemies' reasoning. Know the promulagators of mysticism, magic, and religion. From the Dallas Morning News:
A recent
letter from Ms. Leo formally asking the attorney general to revisit the
issue argued that the original opinion from former Attorney General Dan
Morales was "erroneous on its face" and should be reversed, restoring
full board authority over textbook selection.
"We suggest
that the opinion misread the Texas Education Code and misinterpreted
legislative intent; that State Board of Education establishment of
general textbook content standards is lawful under current statute and
serves a legitimate state interest," she said in her request for a new
opinion.
Remember, Reason is seldom a useful tool when mingling with such folks! I know it's hard to pass among them, but avoid the pods! Preserve you higher intellectual capacities!
Be prepared to challenge her and her kind at every social intercourse, at every cross walk, at the mall, in the checkout line, at every overheard discussion. Let NO opportunity pass! Our only weapon is vigilance!
