The Texas State Board of Education is elected. Perry has no involvement with who gets selected to sits on the board. He only picks the presiding officer. please get your facts correct.
“Welcome to Texas! Please set your watch back 150 years! And you Colored folks, just step to the rear of the State and mind your manners.”
@sam whiley: The article never said that the governor chooses the board. Please get your facts correct.
Sam: Please get your facts straight. Governor Perry has consistently appointed extreme right-wing conservatives to head the State Board of Education. The current head, Gail Lowe is an outspoken creationist and she is responsible for choosing David Barton to be on the so-called “expert” panel.
Perry’s first choice to head the board was Cynthia Dunbar who home schools her children and believes public education is a “subtly deceptive tool of perversion” and that government should be guided by a “biblical litmus test.” She is also a “birther” who believes that President Obama was not born in this country.

Why don’t we just tune in to talk radio and let the kids listen to Rush, Hannity and Savage everyday. Save a lot of money by eliminating some of those ‘edicated’ teachers.

Why should this latest move suprise anyone? Fairness and inclusiveness haven’t exactly been the hallmark of conservitive behavior. The left and center still don’t get how focused the extreme right is. This is Texas we’re talkin’ about, too. My kids may have to use these books, but you can be sure they’ll be learning “the real deal” from me. Did you believe everything you read in a textbook, or did your parents teach better?
I can hear the Fortune 500 firms crossing TX of their list of new facilities. At last the educational system in Mississippi has someone to look down on. Even the Mormons in Utah have more sense. Perry is a complete loon and Texas will get what it deserves for electing him.
