A few weeks ago, I commented on a New York Times story discussing the Texas State School Board of Education and how the Christian conservatives on the board are aiming to rewrite American history, painting our Founders as unwavering Christians. Turns out on Tuesday, Don McLeroy, the staunchly-Christian-conservative board member featured prominently in the Times article, was defeated in his reelection bid. I’m curious how this will effect the state’s curriculum discussions with McLeroy’s successor having more moderate positions. Hopefully for the better since the board has national implications.
