Well, there you go again, Texas, making me wish we still had your Molly Ivins around to make sense of you.
As the late, great columnist once so wisely explained, "Many a time freedom has been rolled back — and always for the same reason: fear."

I took that to heart while reading a boatload of coverage about your elected state school board's latest effort to indoctrinate its students with the kind of misinformation that's going to make them the butt of an awful lot of jokes.

This time, you want your children to graduate from high school thinking slavery had nothing to do with the Civil War.

Dear Texas: What are you afraid of now?

We know you're scared of your women, because you keep trying to eliminate their constitutional right to an abortion. The U.S. Supreme Court put a stop to that stunt, at least for now.
