The Orleans Parish School Board in Louisiana Just Voted to Ban Creationism (and distorted history) from Their Schools
Nice job folks.
I’d call this an anti-pitting or unpitting.
So they avoid teaching religion as science and also avoid teaching history as “revised” by the idiots in Texas.

I’d call it an MPSIMS thread.

Hallelujah!
Three (a trinity of) Cheers to them!
Damn, that’s fantastic. A victory for knowledge and science.
Hardly seems pointless to me. Deep in the South going against the anti-science crowd probably takes a good deal of political courage.
My knowledge of Texas historical revisionism is very vague, but I seem to recall they were characterizing slavery as good for the slaves and were very pro manifest destiny so that shoving natives aside was deemed a good thing.
Is it OK if we pit the fact that it’s actually necessary for there to be a vote against creationism in a science curriculum?
Don’t forget we Texans know that this country was founded as a Christian Nation and made sure it was put in the History books as such. Just don’t bother to read what the Founding Fathers wrote on the subject and what the Constitution says. We are Texas, we a right so there

It’s good to remember that the world is full of sane people even if you don’t hear as much about them as you do about the more newsworthy among us.
“Among us”? Are you “newsworthy”?
Not with regard to teaching religion in science class, I’d like to think, but some of my other views might warrant a headline once in a while.
