This material comes from Amanda Terkel at Think Progress.Speaking of Texas, that great loony state, with an educational system that is close to the worst in the world (although it might be better than Florida's), and a state Board of Education ruled by creationist crackpots and christianist morons, there is more news today ...
Up in Arlington (north Texas), 800 miles from common sense, the school district ruled against allowing their darling little kiddos to watch President Obama's speech -- you know, the speech where he urged children to stay in school, work hard, be responsible, etc.
You can hardly blame the Arlington School District. I mean who wants their kids to be subjected to that kind of socialistic/communistic/fascistic/atheistic crap?
Well, the powers that be in the Arlington School District didn't put it quite that way. They said they had some really important lessons to teach their kiddos and they just couldn't possibly justify interrupting these "regularly scheduled lesson plans." [They were probably the plans that explained to science classes that god created everything in just six days, and proclaimed to history classes that the bible is truer than evolution.]
So far, all is good. But now, it turns out that the intelligence-challenged bozos who run the Arlington School District have decided to interrupt their regularly scheduled classes to BUS the students over to the Dallas Cowboys Stadium field on September 21 so the little darlings can listen to - ta, da! - none other than the ethically and morally-challenged former prezident, Georgi W. Bush!
Not only so, but they'll also hear from Laura Bush, "legendary Dallas Cowboy" FOOTBALL players, and "North Texas business and community leaders." How much you wanta bet there will be a few preachers in the bunch?
With pinheads like the ones in Arlington heading up our schools, is it any wonder that the United States is lagging way behind the rest of the world when it comes to educating our children?

Excellent! Now our well educated kids will have an ever increasing labor pool to do the dirty work Mexicans will no longer do when we fix our borders. What if Mexicans seek work in China when they can no longer find it here because these kids will learn to pick the fruit, handle the chickens, sweep up after the cows, pigs, etc.
Leave them alone, for God’s sake. Allow them to follow their faith. God will provide for them and our kids. God helps those that help themselves, I was taught that. Of course, He has his own plans and ideas of help. Maybe he sent Obama to us to teach the kids, maybe He didn’t. It is not ours, or yours to question such things.
Question: My mother told me to wear clean undies in case of emergency. Is the Rapture an emergency that requires clean undies? I think all clothing comes off as we ascend, so it seems my Mother was incorrect.
