Come now, I was educated through master's degree in Texas and none of my teachers ever gave lip service to creationism. My biology teacher in high school is one of the best I ever had, even through college.
The politicians don't have anywhere near enough power to force good teachers to teach fiction as fact. They can pass all the amendments they want, but a good teacher will always teach proven science instead of mysticism.
In Texas, there are good schools and bad schools, just like anywhere else. Don't lump all Texans in with our dumbest politicians; you might as well say anyone from Illinois will take a bribe.

This isn't the first raping of standard intelligence that Texas has performed. As it is now, they teach creationism with the same expression on their face as they do evolution. All I can think of is the children who will grow up learning this shit.
This reminds me of a little article I read online about one student's research into the question of, "Why didn't the Apollo astronauts float off the moon?" The answers were astounding. Of course, one popular answer was, "heavy boots." Right.
Ahh.. here it is: Heavy Boots
Parents, I hope this raises your awareness of how important it is to send your kid to a good school. Avoid Texas at all costs.
