Wow... just... wow.
I can't believe that Texas was out-derped by Oklahoma.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925 Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan 
"Today, we took a test. And every single answer was "God did it."
--Lisa Simpson
Trudging through endless religion one step at a time.
Texas will re-energize itself to get back its title of "STUPIDEST."

I considered them equals. OK is only just bringing itself to TX's level. TX has held the crown too long to be usurped quite yet.
Texas try harder.
But where is Kansas on the stupid roster? You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.
I haven't had anything flashed in my face from Kansas recently except one douchebag trying to tell me their bbq was better than North Carolina's. He was summarily stuffed in a trashcan. Other than that, they're pretty low...or high...on the list. Depending on how you want to judge it. Do we consider "most" to be "bottom rung" or "top of the shit heap"?
I look at the states sometimes and see all the good it has done and wonder if I'd ever want to live there....then I hear shit like this and remember why im lucky (despite all its faults) to live in England.
