School board whack-a-mole

[dvandom]

It's starting to look like some sort of pathological whack-a-mole pattern is developing in school board elections, in Kansas and elsewhere. Here's the cycle:

1) Right-leaning school board rewrites science standards to crack the door open for creationism.

2) Voters wake up, vote the bums out.

3) New school board reverses the decision.

4) Voters go back to sleep.

5) Right-leaning candidates get elected to school board on Family Values issues, but claim they're not out to gut the science standards.

6) GOTO 1

Isn't there some clause that those religious fundies are supposed to follow...something about not lying?

I gave up on christianity a very long time ago... nor do I wish to go back. I've read books on Shinto and Egyptian mythology and wear an Eye of Ra necklace. If the Christian idea of being saved is this, I don't want it.

Seen the previews for the next Trading Spouses on Fox? Some woman goes all psycho because the other family doesn't go to church. Kind of like how on Chappelle's skit Trading Spouses, that Leonard guy threatened to kill people and stuff.
