    This guy is a joke.

Unfortunately he's serious as a heart attack. He isn't some nobody preaching to a right wing congregation out in the middle of nowhere. He is the leader of the Texas Board of Education. Their decisions affect students all over the country, because the strength of their buying power dictates what goes into different texts. Funny that this guy is getting prosecuted for being a snake oil salesman, while this asshole gets reelected.

Thankfully, I just read that the Texas legislature effectively neutered the school board over this issue of textbooks. The schools in Texas are no longer required to purchase approved books.
