Gov. Perry: We Teach Creationism in Texas Public Schools. The Rest of Texas: No, We Don't.

[Liberal In Texas]

We don't live in a state where kids learn theology in biology class. Not yet, anyway.

Texas Freedom Network Prez Kathy Miller seems to believe the gaffe was calculated.

"Gov. Perry has once again waded into the culture wars for political gain, but without considering the harmful consequences. It is irresponsible for the leader of a state, or a presidential hopeful, to suggest to public school teachers that it is OK to teach creationism as science when such attempts have repeatedly been ruled unconstitutional by the courts, and could result in litigation against a school district," she said in a statement we received this afternoon. "And it is outrageous that Gov. Perry would erode respect for and trust in public education in Texas, simply in order to promote his political aspirations. Texans and Texas schools are working to prepare our children for college and 21st-century jobs. Gov. Perry's irresponsible comments wrongly suggest otherwise."

We think she's giving him way too much credit. Anyone wanna lay odds on Perry simply has no clue what we teach?

I sure wish we'd could stop electing idiots for governor.
