I mean I understand that Republicans generally have problems reading and comprehending things, but the blog post provides plenty of links... including to the austin chronicle which leads to this:

See Page 20 in PDF pages/Page 12 using the numbers at the bottom of the page or in the TOC

Or just Ctrl+F critical thinking

Let the record show that that messenger has been duly attacked. Still doesn't change the fact that the Texas GOP did in fact put on record their opposition to critical thinking.

Well, actually, their spokesperson has since admitted it was a mistake, but they're stuck with it until 2104. If only there had been some sort of mental process they could have applied...

Link to GOP spokesperson hating his job:

That plank is better than one they had 8 years ago. It pretty much said if a person's behavior offends your religious conviction, you can kill them and it won't be a crime.

Having been a delegate to my senatorial district convention many times, all i can say is saner folks need to go to their precinct meetings and serve on the platform committee.

Some of this is scary.
