Texas, you're not making this any easier.

Well, looks like it's time for another of my once-every-few-months occasions to be severely disappointed in public agencies in Texas. This time the director of the state's public school science curriculum has been forced out, apparently because she prefers evolution to "intelligent design". This is just pathetic. While I appreciate Eric Berger's spirited defense of Texas (in short, we're not all antiscience zealots), the steady stream of this stuff from Austin is unquestionably depressing.
