Lee, a voice of reason? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!

Unfortunately, I can believe this appointment. The religious fundamentalists are the ones that enabled Rick Perry to get re-elected. I'm sure this is part of his pay-off to them. However, they have to be careful of pushing too far. While there is a large block of religious fundamentalists in Texas, they are comprised of various different groups, and several of those groups will take a very dim view of dumbing down Texas education. Several of the fundamentalist groups have very large universities in Texas so they have a big stake in the education system. We tend to get pretty upset when folks try to make us do something that we don't want to do.
