Texas Senate rejects McLeroy

The Texas Senate, on a party line vote, got all Democrats to stand firm, thereby rejecting Don McLeroy to head the State Board of Education.

McLeroy, a strong opponent of evolution, and upholder of creationist principles, along the lines of "teach the controversy" (there is none within the peer-reviewed scientific world) was opposed for his divisiveness and contentiousness.

Here’s a backgrounder on final debate before the vote.
