Our show TUESDAY 1-2:30PM eastern on air and online at www.wusb.fm will focus on the nation-state of TEXAS! We have lots of questions, ranging from what appears to many of us as a radical right State Board of Education that wants to ban the teaching of critical thinking and has pushed Creationism into the curricula. A state that has petitioned the White House for secession with over 125,000 signatures. We will also look at the recent Univ. of Texas study that shows over 50% of Texans don’t believe in evolution. What the hell is going on in Texas?!
