One of the most contentious issues in the debate over what to include in Texas’ social studies textbooks surrounds the separation of church and state. The far-right members of the State Board of Education (SBOE) argue that America is a Christian nation and separation of church and state is a myth. In March, a majority of SBOE members voted “against requiring high school American government students to learn that the nation’s Founders barred government from favoring or disfavoring one religion over all others.”
At the opening of yesterday’s session — where the board gave final approval to the social studies standards — far-right member Cynthia Dunbar gave the invocation, in which she used the prayer to push her anti-church-state separation agenda:
Whether we look to the first charter of Virginia, or the charter of New England or the Charter of Massachusetts Bay, or the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut, the same objective is present: a Christian land governed by Christian principles. I believe the entire Bill of Rights came into being because of the knowledge our forefathers had of the Bible and their belief in it. … I like to believe we are living today in the spirit of the Christian religion.
Call it the Glenn Beck Syndrome. History conflicts with your beliefs? No problem. Simply state what your historical preference is and – presto! – instant history rewrite. You now have a perfect match for your whacked out conservative beliefs. The only caveat is that you need to preface your rewrite with, “The Founding Fathers intent was…”.

I have often pondered article 11 in the Treaty with Tripoli in 1796 (?) which states “… in no way is the United States Government founded on the Christian religion…” This treaty was read to the congress, approved unanimously, and signed by president John Adams.
Don’t they at least teach reading comprehension in Texas?
The Lone Brain Cell State…..perfect! When are the school boards going to put a stop to this, and start boycotting the publishers who promote the Texas textbooks?
I’m sure book burning will be next. What folks are doing now, though, is checking ‘objectionable’ books out of the library and just not returning them…..
A few libraries in America have actually baned Mark Twain’s “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”, as far as I am concerned that is the greatest American novel.
It’s amazing that no matter what egregious hateful and stupid actions the Churches perform the Religious Right will ignore or find excuses.They are too brain dead or brain washed to realize that they are being used and suckered into donations.
The actual teachings of Jesus are wonderful in their simplicity and compassion, unfortunately they have been hijacked by mountebanks of the vilest sort who use them very selectively to further their own agenda.
We are told repeatedly that the Bible declares homosexuality to be an abomination in the eyes of God but the neighboring passage in the good book which says adulterers should be put to death is completely overlooked. Could this be because adultery is approved by the party of “family values?”
I couldn’t agree with you more. The Religious Right is a subject that enrages me more than any other, and they have not only injected their hypocrisy/agenda into textbooks, but the Constitution as well. This website is a very funny satirical look at Religion, well, at least I think so, and if anyone is offended by it….I apologize in advance.

All I can say is “WOW”, what ignorance, and a way to push your own personal agenda.
