“The reason the elections are important is that the State Board guides what 5 million kids are going to learn in the public schools and most parents want public schools to provide an education based on facts and scholarship and not on politics and personal beliefs.”
— Dan Quinn, Texas Freedom Network communications director, commenting on this year’s State Board of Education elections.
After the Texas SBOE’s series of embarrassing mishaps in recent years – creationism, abstinence-only sex education, Christopher Columbus discovered America and other crap – people here have woken up and taken these elections seriously. Better late than never!
