Editorial: When God was handing out brains ...

Between now and the November general election, Republican incumbents statewide and legislative are going to pound on Texas' economic success. Voters need to ignore the sound bites and ask candidates whether they agree with curriculum standards pushed by a majority of the State Board of Education.

It's not like the state's top leadership could ignore the gales of derisive laughter the state board draw with its nasty, noisy fights about what and how Texas school children will learn.

But so far, Gov. Rick Perry and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst have been mute while the state board has dragged science and history through a looking glass that reflects poorly on Texas.

(snip)
The majority of the 15-member board went on a jihad against knowledge — despite having suffered reverses in the Republican primary in March — in adopting curriculum standards, and there was silence from the governor, lieutenant governor, speaker and leading legislators.


(snip)
Vigorously advocating a point of view is one thing, but handicapping Texas students is quite another. Perry chose McLeroy and Lowe to lead the board, and he owes voters an explanation for those choices.

Wow, this from a newspaper that endorsed bush twice! Perhaps the SBOE doing away with "Age of Enlightenment" was the final straw for them. About damn time!

Perry is just as stupid as McLeroy and Lowe and he is bad for Texas! I hope the reasoned voters in Texas see the damage Perry is doing. I fully expect this Ed Board to ask him these questions and not endorse him for Governor.

The republicans were too busy saying "NO" to get in line and pick up their order.

The bondage club story was the perfect story for Stewart. He really liked it too. "Log Grabbin Republicans" :rofl:
