Yes, and those in Texas are just the backlash against having secularism forced upon them and their children. These people are very conservative Christians and do not want others telling them how to think, especially if that way of thinking is viewed, by them, as an attack on their religion. They resist. Surprise!

What is it about people responding to being attacked by what they perceive as secularist extremism that surprises you? We are not talking about New York, California or D.C. We are talking about Texas and people who did not know and do not accept that the Government has the right to influence or challenge what they perceive as fundamental concepts of their religious beliefs.

I must say that the offense taken in these quarters to this backlash is very unthinking. I typically avoided those postings as Charles, like me and everybody else, has his own blind spots and interests. For my part, I do not believe that you can use the Constitution to club people over the head (change the way they and their ancestors have lived and taught their children for generations) without getting a push back. They think they are fighting for their freedom to believe and teach their children what they also believe. They want to pass on their beliefs, as they see right, to the next generation. WOW! I guess that makes them REALLY UN-American, huh?
