Right now there is an exhibition running in Philadelphia's Franklin Institute called Galileo, the Medici and the Age of Astronomy and one of its highlights are the experiences of Galileo and how he was supressed and oppressed by the Catholic Church establishment back in his day for suggesting that the earth was not the center of the universe (among his other heresies). But I see a lot of similarities between that saga and this one in the Texas "education system". Contrary to what the Pope (and via Scripture "God"?) said back then, we are now aware of a more realistic structure of our solar system and universe.
