documentary
This film shows the struggle for what should be included in text books used in the public schools in Texas. Evolution and history are the two main battlegrounds.
It's essentially educated, thoughtful people against reactionary religious morons. This being Texas the troglodytes win, thus condemning a generation of schoolchildren to ignorance.
Stories like this make me feel there's no hope for mankind. True believers of all stripe, political, social or religious, have been mankind's curse since forever. Their absolute certainty in whatever belief system they espouse leads to suppression, violence and social retardation. I find it grimly amusing that they demonize secular humanism... arranging society for the good of humanity.
One guy here says the combination of ignorance and arrogance is deadly. Yes it is.
