What is it about the State Board of Education in Texas that attracts numbskulls who see no problem whatsoever with spreading completely fraudulent information?

There’s a board faction that seems intent on adding intelligent design to the science curriculum and more of a religious focus to high school classes on the Bible.

We can debate whether that promotes critical thinking or impermissibly forces a certain religious perspective into our classrooms, when religious instruction should be the purview of homes and churches.

But I hope it’s not debatable that it is simply irresponsible for a State Board of Education member to go about fear-mongering by insinuating — without citing any factual basis — that our next president colludes with terrorists, disrespects the Constitution and wants to run a dictatorship.

Two days before the election, Cynthia Dunbar, a Republican from Richmond, wrote on the Christian Worldview Network Web site, "I sincerely believe that an Obama Administration would ultimately mean one thing . . . the end of America as we know her."
