That’s right— they’re freaking out about books that haven’t been used for seven years.

That’s what kills me the most about what these assholes are doing. The books they’re in full on Outrageous Outrage mode over haven’t even been in the classroom in almost a decade.

I’ve lived in Texas my entire life. Went through the public schools. Even took World History back in high school. I couldn’t tell you a single thing I learned about Islam back then. Most of what I’ve learned has come from my own reading and — gasp! — talking to people who are Muslim, like local imams, and having them answer my questions.

Honestly, I wish these Texas SBOE people would STFU and quit making my state look bad. It’s infuriating. I’m tired of a bunch of YEC religious nutjobs not only ruining the educational system in this state, forcing colleges to pick up the slack later, but making all of Texas look like it’s filled with a bunch of ignorant, backwards morans.
