Texas Gov. appoints creationist to run state’s Board of Education
It has been a busy week in young Earth creationist news. Earlier, we heard a creationist legislator give an interesting rationale for uranium mining in Arizona. Today comes word that Rick Perry, the governor of Texas who flirted with the idea of secession, has selected a young-Earther to lead the state’s Board of Education.
Gail Lowe would very much like for intelligent design to be taught alongside evolution in public schools (Dover be damned), and has personally appointed anti-evolution advocates to the state science curriculum panels.

“t was actually the less controversial choice. Cynthia Dunbar, reportedly under consideration for the post, believed government should be guided by a “biblical litmus test” and thought public education was a “subtly deceptive tool of perversion.” (She home-schooled her own children.) She has also endorsed conspiracy theories suggesting President Obama is not a natural-born citizen.”

B,
I guess we can be happy it wasn’t Dunbar.
*does a happy dance*
