Yep, that's sort of what I was thinking. That's why I posted the link a few comments ago. Well informed people will know about the outcome of the Dover case. I didn't personally learn of it until recently. So maybe others don't know the details. So as for religion taking over history-- there's Federal president against it. So, the agenda of the religious won't get too far. As for discounting all of Texas in one swipe-- I agree there, too. Most regions are variations of gray rather than black or white. Or perhaps various shades of "purple" as opposed to "red" states or "blue" states is an apt analogy. John A:

Yep, that’s sort of what I was thinking. That’s why I posted the link a few comments ago. Well informed people will know about the outcome of the Dover case. I didn’t personally learn of it until recently. So maybe others don’t know the details.

So as for religion taking over history– there’s Federal president against it. So, the agenda of the religious won’t get too far.

As for discounting all of Texas in one swipe– I agree there, too. Most regions are variations of gray rather than black or white. Or perhaps various shades of “purple” as opposed to “red” states or “blue” states is an apt analogy.

By no means do all Texans agree with the Board of Education on evolution and large numbers of them see the need for Separation of Church and State. I can only see another Dover case happening in Texas if they start trying to insert religion into schools and it will go exactly the same way. Wow that’s a very large brush to condemn Texans.

I can only see another Dover case happening in Texas if they start trying to insert religion into schools and it will go exactly the same way.

One shouldn't have the right to re-write over history with religion, either. Rather than Texans yelling, “Remember the Alamo!”, someone needs to yell, “Remember Dover!”
