From the Barksdale Elementary school newsletter in Plano Texas:
First place in the annual school diorama fair was awarded to Canaan Taylor’s ambitious Intelligent Design-themed Invisible Hand: An Absolutist’s Case For Traditional Marriage and The Purchasing Power of Dinosaurs In The Edenic Free Market. Our goal to balance Leftist Academia with a more conservative perspective is in full effect, and that made this year’s competition a heated one. Katie Perkins’s second place entry King Kong Died For Our Sins was thought to be the front runner, but some unfortunate rumors involving her family — her parents are divorced, and it’s been said she has two Daddies now — cost her in the end. Third place went to Corey Hallohan’s Hijacking The Presidency: The Kenyan Connection, while Trinity Temple’s controversial Jeffrey Dahmer: Nihilism of A Gay Darwinian Atheist made a strong showing in fourth place.
We can all agree that the Texas Board of Education — which wisely opted to not consult any of those biased historians, sociologists or economists when casting its votes — deserves our praise and gratitude. Don McLeroy said it best: “We are adding balance. History has already been skewed. Academia is skewed too far to the left.”
Equilibrium achieved.

what?
I’m sad that this occurred in Texas, but unsurprised that this is from Plano…
All this fucking effort to create a mythical Pleasantville. Never mind that Eve would’ve had to screw her own sons to produce mates for them, or that the birth defects from all the generations of inbreeding would’ve long ago killed off humanity. These people aren’t just stupid. They choose stupid.
This has to be a joke.
Creationism is not conservatism, it is just stupid.
The main portion is a spoof, but the last comment and its implications are sadly real. Not only are these relics trying to rewrite history, but they want to use education to legitimize fantasy and paint their ranks in a more flattering light.
