Breitbart.tv Proposed Texas Textbooks Are Filled With 109,000 Errors

http://www.breitbart.tv/proposed-texas-textbooks-are-filled-with-109000-errors/

Excerpt:

WOAI-TV: Texas schools’ reading and English textbooks have so far been found to contain more than 109,000 mistakes. But the state is still likely to buy them if the publishers promise to correct the errors before the books make it into the classroom. As News 4 WOAI first reported last month, the books are filled with spelling, grammatical, and factual errors.

Recently 60 Minutes had a history book that said the Statute of Liberty was made of tin and was purchased from France.

No the incompetents who accept their "freinds" dummed down books (i.e. Intelligent Design types) allow these to be considered.

Idiot America Idiot America: How Stupidity Became a Virtue in the Land of the Free by Charles P. Pierce reviews the acceptance of this malarkey as does Unscientific America, by Charles Mooney, a great expose on the idiots who are scientifically illiterate yet think they are contributing with these stupid textbooks.

I wasn't aware that the history book YOU mentioned in the first post on this thread had anything to do with intelligent design. In fact, in this large group of books, tell us how many have to do with this specific topic. And how many of those "reading" and "English" textbooks have anything to do with Intelligent Design?

As usual, you're a clueless wonder lost in your dark sea of ignorance.
