No doubt this is a nice change from the anti-US, white man=bad stuff that has polluted text books. I don't understand why the battle with Darwin. High school kids are savvy enough to deal with Biology. Obviously not all of us who studied Darwin have been indoctinated. Censorship is rarely a good strategy.
Right they need to make sure to include what Darwin said about how blacks are less evolved than whites. That would certainly shake things up.
The evolution issue is a red herring. I think one of the board members may believe in young Earth but few in Texas push that “science”.
What isn’t getting press is that man-made global warming is also pushed as established fact.
And on the concept of “creationism”, anyone who believes in a god has to either hold the view that God created everything or else “god(s)” evolved from the Big Bang as well and must be as dumbstruck by all the life on our planet as we are.
