In my last blog entry I expressed outrage at the proposed changes to curriculum in Texas. This article has recently been posted on the Texas ACLU website. They, along with the NAACP, have drafted and sent a letter to the Texas Board of Education. While the ACLU did not yet suggest there were going to take litigious action, they did use legal precedents. I think this could be a huge legal battle that redefines what state boards of education can and cannot do, at least that is my hope. It was several years ago when the Kansas Board of Education wanted to do away with the teaching of evolution and replace it with bullshit creationism. Personally, I think the federal government needs to create legislation that would completely obliterate federal government funding for states who make these kinds of changes. Anyway, there's the article.
