Goodbye Texas

This should be the last darn straw. Really!Texas has gone completely wackadoo.
As part of the process a Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills review team composed of parents and teachers has suggested removing Neil Armstrong from a "science strand" in a 5th grade social studies book.
Why?
The team said they made this proposal because he was not a scientist.
Eh? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Texass! What are you thinking? Aside the obviously answer of "Nothing, nothing at all."

Don't even get me STARTED on their version of science. I saw the same thing Genomic Repairman stated a few days back. Ridiculous and completely moronic are the first two words that come to MY mind.

Having lived in Oklahoma during my days in graduate school, I experienced first hand the wackaloonery of Oklahoma and her neighbors.

It was not pretty. And Oklahoma wonders why she can't get big business to invest within the state?
