Some blog readers may be interested in a recent post “Science Education in Texas #4” [Hake (2009)]. The abstract reads:
ABSTRACT: The National Center for Science Education (NCSE http://ncseweb.org/ ) reported that (a) “the Texas Senate voted NOT to confirm Don McLeroy in his post as chair of the Texas state board of education on 28 May 28 2009,” and (b) according to the Houston Chronicle "there is speculation in the Capitol and within the Texas Education Agency that Gov. Rick Perry might elevate Cynthia Dunbar, R-Richmond, to lead the board.” Dunbar is the author of One Nation Under God that advocates more religion in the public square. According to a Dallas Morning News report by Christy Hoppe (2006), Gov. Rick Perry "believes that non-Christians are doomed."
