New Texastan SBOE Chair Barbara Cargill on her Creationist Agenda
Texastan governor Perry’s new choice for chairing the state board of education spoke on the 7th to an Eagle Forum meeting… and revealed her approach - that of a creationist.
Someone recorded the presentation and put it on Youtube in three parts:
Part II of the videos:
6:00 touches on science standards, brings up evolution, talking point on “micro” evolution (and even that she screws up)
7:29 “Don’t look at blogs - it’s like putting poison in your brain”.
Part III of the videos:
~00:30 GAPS IN THE FOSSIL RECORD!!
~4:24 expresses concern over a science website that compares gorilla and human fetuses as example of our common descent (is this an example of the “poison” of which she spoke earlier?)
She wants to “correct” some of that.
Sigh… the new head of the Texastan SBOE… out with the old, in with the… old.
