This should come as no surprise at all in a state like Texas where they are also editing history books to provide a conservative narrative of United States history.
Texas is pretty much the anti-intellect capital of the United States and the Republican Party is at the head of the whole anti-intellectualism movement.
I don't get why Conservative and Intellectual have to be such opposite words? Like Science and Religion. There are no reasons why they can't work harmoniously with each other.
Barry, I mean this in the nicest way possible, but a lot of non-Conservatives on here shout out things as fact. Of course, many of us know what opinions are, but there are things said (what you said about Texas [not the textbooks, I'm fully aware of that]) that have nothing sourced and I'm supposed to take it as if it's true?
However, on many things you DO source and cite. I appreciate that very much.
