"a pair of notorious liars for Christ"

Pharyngula is referring to the authors of a new bill designed to inject more religion into public school classrooms in Texas, which he goes on to lacerate justly.  The quote from the legislation, however, does omit an important line:  "Homework and classroom assignments must be judged by ordinary academic standards of substance and relevance and against other legitimate pedagogical concerns identified by the school district."  That may provide a way for school districts interested in education to avoid the otherwise disastrous consequences of this piece of reprehensible legislation.

UPDATE:  This commentator makes some good points.  I wish I had some suggestions, but I've run out.  The sense of "deja vu all over again" does tend to wear a person down.
