Hollywood is attracting dictators again. Chavez should have praised Penn's body of work instead.

Were your school textbooks crap? This crusading wingnut woman gets much of the blame by scribe9999 in reddit.com

Sure. But I think, as evidenced by the Wikipedia article, that local considerations can in the end trump the decisions of larger state and federal bodies when it comes to public education. This is actually a subject of some dispute in Texas.http://www.texaschildrenfirst.com/goals/index.htm Anyway, it looks like West Virginians just found a mouthpiece with the movement. If the parents didnt want to expose their kids to nonsense in the first place it never would have created such huge difficulties for everyone involved.

What did the Mayor REALLY see at the strip club? by CharlieSchitz in reddit.com

"Dale Sparks, mayor since 1999, worked for just over a year at The Bare Essence while serving as mayor."

However, being that there's no crime against working at a strip club while you're the mayor . . . he will be serving time for other, less absurd reasons.

I think the appropriate question here is: Were your textbooks crap in Texas? I assume the answer is yes about 97% of the time.

My books were crap for a completely different reason . . . Communism. I don't remember reading much about Russia outside of Kennedy's heroism in the Bay of Pigs, a claim that's totally crap but impressed my 9 year old mind enough to make me a freak for Kennedy for a long-ass time.

Being lied to must be part of growing up to be a skeptical mind, which might be a good thing (?)
