Victory for evolution in Texas

QuotePop the champagne corks. The Texas Board of Education has unanimously come down on the side of evolution. In an 8-0 vote, the board today approved scientifically accurate high school biology textbook supplements from established mainstream publishers--and did not approve the creationist-backed supplements from International Databases, LLC...

Some good news from Texas!  ;D

It's about time they did something right.  The considered alternatives were horrendous in not only the science areas but history and economics as well - it was more propaganda then academic.

Wow, Texas did ONE thing right.
On the other hand, I am envious. I wish I was taught evolution in high school.

*Gets on really southern voice* Well, we ALL know that evolution is a lie... My friends mom told me this and started making fun of NPR. My mom shouted at her. While my mom is a theist, she has a little sense.
There was a time then religion ruled all of Europe, this was called the Dark Ages.

When I hear NPR, they are usually referring to National Public Radio which is fairly unbiased source for news and discussion in the US.
Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.
