re: #377 Guanxi88

Oh, so the topic in an otherwise economically-oriented thread, about demonstrably economic matters, is in fact educational policy?

No. The specific thread in this conversation was about you laughing at the idea of theocracy— despite the fact that Texas is weakening and corrupting educational standards in the name of religion.

And while you’re at it, yes, every time the success of Texas is mentioned, the inevitable response is “boogah! boogah! creationism”

Texas has some economic success. They also have gigantic problems that are becoming worse, and they’re borrowing money from the feds to keep the state government going. Those low-taxes, unfortunately, aren’t providing them with the revenue that they need.

This doesn’t put them in a unique position. Many other states are grappling with revenue problems.

Pointing out the problems with creationism— and many many other parts of the school curriculum; if you’re under the impression it’s just about creationism please read some of Charles’s links above— is not a ‘boogah boogah’, it’s pointing out a real, actual problem that will only get worse with time, as the effects of that corrupted education are felt.

Your accusations of bigotry, of Charles’s posts on the subject being two minute hates, are extremist and bizarre.

The dogs bark, and the caravan moves on.
