January 2nd is deadline to file for SBOE primaries
Seven positions are up for election in 2008 for the Texas State Board of Education. This is the board that use to support the teaching of evolution
but for some reason, TEA no longer makes that statement. Three of the uncontested seats are Republican, one currently held by Terri Leo, a supporter of teaching “the weaknesses of evolution.”
Why can’t the Democrats manage to come up with one person in District 6 willing to run against Leo? Surely there is a professor at one of the area colleges or even a student that would be willing to at least submit his or her name for the ballot?
