Re: Texans for Truthful Textbooks Protest

Nice biased coverage. You portray the protesters as being only atheists with a political agenda. Those people were there to protest the changes being made by people on the board who really do have a political and religious agenda. If anything, the protesters were there to fight political agendas being used to write textbooks. There are many theistic people who disagree with rewriting history to fit some ultra-conservative view of the world. I don't want my kids learning a different history than I did just because some republicans got elected. Changes in textbooks should come from historians and scientists who have published those changes in peer reviewed journals and then passed the test of others research. Ignorant people should not be setting what the government teaches our youth.

Now that I think of it. Every family could almost buy a hybrid car with that much. That would boost production and reduce fuel consumption at the same time.
