American Taliban at it again.
Well, the Odessa Texas school board unanimously passed an elective Bible course for 2006. The kids in these schools can't get sex education, are taught creationism is the "truth" and are taught the theory of evolution should be looked at skeptically "because it is just theory" (um, so is the theory of gravity folks -- "just a theory".

If it was alleged by some that the American eagle, Thomas Jefferson, and the Resolutions of '98 had nothing whatever to do with the contest of a ditch company over a doubtfully worded legislative document; that wholesale abuse of the State Attorney and his political motives had not the slightest connection with the legal question raised--it was, nevertheless, generally accepted that the losing party would have been only too glad to have the Colonel on their side.. For the first half hour or so he chooses common and meclizine easy words, that the spirit of the evening may not be damped by the too early thinning of the classes.. ] albuterol [Footnote 8: The Cambridge History of American Literature , Vol...
