Florida, Texas enter the 19th century

| | Comments (2)

I guess it’s a kind of time travel. From Florida:

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The teaching standards for Florida schools include the word "evolution" for the first time, under a decision Tuesday by the state school board.

The board approved the use of the term "scientific theory of evolution" in public schools science standards.

And from Texas:

FORT WORTH, Texas — A federal appeals court has overturned a Texas statute outlawing sex toy sales, leaving Alabama as the state with the strictest ban on such devices.

Poor Alabamans. Come on into the modern world, the water’s fine!
