I owe an apology to Texans. Not all of them are crazy fundamentalists who think creationism is worthy of being taught in the science room.
“Voters in the Republican primary basically guaranteed a new look for the State Board of Education by removing controversial member Don McLeroy and ending the 26-year board career of Geraldine “Tincy” Miller.
McLeroy's leadership as one of the board's seven social conservatives, and his opposition to the teaching of evolution, made him a strong ally for conservative Christian groups and a lightning rod for educators.”
These voters were Republican, which makes the fact that the voted out McLeroy even more incredible. Yes, McLeroy did lose by a small margin but his defeat is hope for the teaching of evolution in the classroom.
