Comments on: Needless ‘Religious Expression’ Bill Throws House Into Chaos http://capitolannex.com/2007/04/26/needless-religious-expression-bill-throws-house-into-chaos/ Outside Austin, But Terribly Well Connected Sun, 14 Mar 2010 22:34:57 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: moiv http://capitolannex.com/2007/04/26/needless-religious-expression-bill-throws-house-into-chaos/comment-page-1/#comment-113927 moiv Fri, 27 Apr 2007 06:19:29 +0000 http://capitolannex.com/2007/04/26/needless-religious-expression-bill-throws-house-into-chaos/#comment-113927 Here's a random thought they didn't consider for the fiscal note. What happens to the median family income in Texas a few years from now, after our kids find out that they can't compete in college or meet employment qualifications in the real world with a GED from Vacation Bible School? The same bunch now insisting that we need a Berlin Wall along the Rio Grande and that God needs a hall pass will be praying for an influx of immigrants with decent educations when our own young adults can't qualify for anything except service jobs.

Something must be done about this oppression of religious zealots. Our children are spending entirely too much time learning useless skills like reading, math, and writing. Some of these heathen schools even still teach *art* and *music* from a secular standpoint. What we need to do is let the students argue about religion all day long, then give them standardized tests on math and reading. If they fail, we'll fire all the teachers and hire some clergy.
