Shame on you fools!

Texas State Board of Education are filled with Idiots!

Texas State Board of Education managed to put in for foolishness in a bunch of social studies, history and economics lessons and books.

They want strong conservative ideals to be taught to millions of students for years to come.

This is what pure mess looks like, y'all. These folks want to screw up millions of kids for some idiotic standards that will NOT be recognized anywhere else in the frakking country.

Here are some the things they changed.

-Teachers in Texas will be required to cover the Judeo-Christian influences of the nation's Founding Fathers, but not highlight the philosophical rationale for the separation of church and state.

-Curriculum standards also will describe the U.S. government as a "constitutional republic," rather than "democratic," and students will be required to study the decline in value of the U.S. dollar, including the abandonment of the gold standard.

- The Board removed Thomas Jefferson from the Texas curriculum, "replacing him with religious right icon John Calvin."

-Conservatives beat back multiple attempts to include hip-hop as an example of a significant cultural movement.

-Numerous attempts to add the names or references to important Hispanics throughout history also were denied, inducing one amendment that would specify that Tejanos died at the Alamo alongside Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie. Another amendment deleted a requirement that sociology students "explain how institutional racism is evident in American society."

- The Board refused to require that "students learn that the Constitution prevents the U.S. government from promoting one religion over all others."

Mess, sheer mess! Now, if I could, I would cut Texas off from all federal funding and benefits until this crap was erased. I can't believe the audacity of this Board! Where did they get their education from? Fashion Bug?

Y'all are f**king up your kids' future, TEXAS!!!

Idiots!!!

Sci-Fi Writer, Orson Scott Card joins NOM

It's sad when one of our Sci-Fi folks is living in a parallel world, like hate-a-gay-world.

Okay bad joke, but I'm just talking about Orson Scott Card's latest stab in the LGBT geeks' hearts.

Orson is a well known science fiction author. His works includes Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead and Ultimate Iron Man. And then there is his other passions...a Mormon Times columnist and a huge hater of us. In fact he said that if Prop 8 passed, the goverment should be overthrown.

He said:

How long before married people answer the dictators thus: Regardless of law, marriage has only one definition, and any government that attempts to change it is my mortal enemy. I will act to destroy that government and bring it down, so it can be replaced with a government that will respect and support marriage, and help me raise my children in a society where they will expect to marry in their turn.

Interesting...Crazy...

So fast forward a bit to now, where we have been entertained by Maggie Gallagher's comedy troupe, the National Organization for Marriage. Just when I thought they were through, Orson joins them. Why, I don't know.

However, he talks about why we want marriage...

The dark secret of homosexual society — the one that dares not speak its name — is how many homosexuals first entered into that world through a disturbing seduction or rape or molestation or abuse, and how many of them yearn to get out of the homosexual community and live normally.

It’s that desire for normality, that discontent with perpetual adolescent sexuality, that is at least partly behind this hunger for homosexual “marriage.”

Sorry, Orson. I wasn't molested, abuse or raped, and the same for other LGBT folks. So that theory is busted. But I am curious to see how he might mix his Sci-Fi stuff into NOM's silly agenda.
