And the problem is
if you take out the
"strengths and weaknesses" language
you're gonna have an environment
of censorship in the classroom
- Hey, Miss.
- Yes, Sir.
So that means, like,
don't believe in God
or something?
The theory of evolution
does not necessarily say
that you cannot be religious.
Okay?
And it should not conflict
with whatever religious
beliefs you have.
on both sides of the spectrum.
And, they've made a compromise.
And hopefully both groups are happy.
happy with it.
When you see a canyon,
you see all these layers, right?
Bottom line is, our students need to know
the science of evolution...
and they do need
to be able to ask questions.
OK, so you will keep me posted.
Initially, the Texas Freedom Network
was founded to counter
the efforts of the religious
right in Texas,
not in the hot button issues
that you typically see,
like abortion
and gay and lesbian rights.
but instead, the religious right
was promoting policies
far outside the mainstream
Particularly public education.
I'm leaving to get Caroline
in about five minutes,
And then I think
I'm coming back here.
OK, thank you. See you later.
Yeah, I'm not out yet.
Every single issue
that we deal with
has some component
of the separation
of church and state
But our mission is to promote
religious freedom,
civil liberties,
in Texas.
So they're gonna be here
about 4:
00.We're gonna go back
to the office
Really quickly.
So how was your day?
Fine.
Yeah? Tell me about it.
Governor Perry has found a way
to use the State Board
of Education
to keep his base
here in Texas happy.
And his base
is really the far right.
And Don McLeroy has,
of the State Board of Education,
really been a lightning rod.

When I first held my son
in my arms
and I realized the kind of
world he'd live in,
to politics.
I was never very interested
in politics that much.
I always voted,
But when my kids
were very little,
I got really interested
in education.
I got interested in politics.
I've been elected
by my constituents,
And I've told them
what I'm for,
and I'm gonna do
the best I can to help,
you know, forward those ideas,
And frankly,
This is one place where
I will mention my religion.
My religion says that we're all
created in the image of God.
