State failed to outline Bible classes for schools: I was sure the state board would give this matter the same thoughtful evaluation as it gave courses in aerobics and apparel in our public schools. In fact, the state board’s aerobics standards are specific to the point of making sure students can identify appropriate footwear. Standards for apparel courses specify that students will “apply principles of effective wardrobe planning.”

Surely the best-selling book in history, the book that hundreds of millions of Christians hold as their sacred scripture, would be given the respect and care given to aerobics and apparel.

I was wrong.

When the creationist plurality currently on the state board of education loses a Baptist minister who can get an editorial like this published in the Abilene paper, you know they’ve lost a good part of their base. Texans might have an ornery, independent streak, but no one likes being laughed at. It’s time for voters to recognize the laughingstock this current BOE is making Texas, and vote appropriately at the next election.
