The fundies on the the TX School Board sure seem to have a lot in common with ISIS. It should be noted that "Allah" is actually the same God of Abraham that Jews and Christians worship. Muslims recognize Abraham, Moses and Jesus as prophets of God (aka Allah).

The fundies in TX would like to teach our children that Evolution is not settled science upon which all biology is based. They'd love to teach that all the laws of physics and chemistry are due to God's/Allah's rules and laws. I will give them some credit that they haven't tried to ban math just yet. Give them time though.

An ignorant populace is a subservient populace.
