Brothers and sisters -
I subscribe to many of the radical left's publications so I can keep track of what they're up to. Today, this horrifying link arrived in my email, disguised as a simple "community organizing" effort:
I suggest we ALL use their server to send messages to our US Representatives, but that we modify the letters as follows:

Help Prevent Political Interference with Curriculum Standards
The Center for Inquiry needs your help supporting a House Resolution to end political meddling with public school curriculum standards.
Earlier this year, Texas' Christian fundamentalist-dominated State Board of Education mandated a bizarrely warped US history curriculum for Texas school children. Because of Texas' enormous influence on the nation's textbook market, the Board's actions affect non-Texan students as well. In March the board included a plank directing students to learn about "the conservative resurgence of the 1980s and 1990s, including Phyllis Schlafly, the Contract With America, the Heritage Foundation, the Moral Majority and the National Rifle Association." Because they didn't care much for Thomas Jefferson, who coined the term "wall of separation between church and state," they erased him from the history books, only to be replaced by lessons on the Catholic theologian Thomas Aquinas.
As if scrubbing Jefferson's name from history were not enough, the board adopted measures in May requiring students to "examine the reasons the Founding Fathers protected religious freedom in America and guaranteed its free exercise by saying that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, and compare and contrast this to the phrase 'separation of church and state.'" This reflects conservative evangelicals' false contention that the doctrine of separation of church and state was fabricated by judges and was not part of the original intent of the Constitution's drafters.
Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson from Texas has introduced H. Res 1593, which "supports standards that guide curriculum development, instruction, and assessment in classrooms that are developed by experts and not subject to political biases." Please contact your U.S. Representative today to urge him or her to cosponsor this important resolution.

I am not and never will be a member of the Center for Inquiry, a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to fostering a secular Godless, depraved society based upon the principles of science, reason, Communism, eugenics, baby-killing, Muslim-coddling, freedom of inquiry perversion, and humanist hedonist values. As a non-member of the Center for Inquiry, I urge you to support and co-sponsor refudiate H. Res. 1593.
The Texas State Board of Education has made headlines over the past year due to board members'meddling with restoring honor to the state's social studies curriculum standards. The Board majority rejected academically sound God-denying recommendations by highly qualified teachers and academics liberals, Muslims, and atheists, choosing instead to inject politically motivated and biased requirements into the state's curriculum standards.
The Board'smisguided upgraded curriculum standards harm will help save the hearts, voting minds, and of course souls of public school children in Texas and throughout the nation. Because Texas is among the largest markets for textbooks in the country, textbook publishers frequently tailor their textbooks to Texan curriculum standards. The Texas social studies standards the Board adopted could affect our public school students for years to come.
Recent surveys show that nearly 3 out of 4 likely Texas voters wanttpreachers and Bible scholars, not politicians, to write public school curriculum standards. As your constituent, I feel the same way.
I urge you tocosponsor refudiate H. Res. 1593. Please help ensure that public school curriculum standards reflect Biblically-accurate historical scholarship.
Thank you foryour consideration showing that you are really a Christian, not a closet Muslim, and protecting our Lord God from the harassment of liberals.
