"I ask you not to let Texas once again become a
national embarrassment," said Ron Wetherington, an anthropology
professor at Southern Methodist University, according to AP.
Global media outlets are highlighting the protest and
ongoing bone of contention between the Evolutionists and the Creationists;
regarding how science will be taught in school, including a Russian media
outlet, RT.
The story http://rt.com/usa/texas-textbooks-evolution-creationism-990/
has sparked much criticism from not only the country but from the global
community.
The decision will not only affect Texas students, but
because the textbook will be mass produced, other states are apt to pick up this
book for their classrooms.
Our current streak of education legislation continues to keep
America out of the top 10 countries in the world with the highest quality
education, and Texas should not take this decision lightly as we can now
improve our rankings.
