ORIGINAL INTENT, INDEED
If directly calling for openly flouting and opposing the Constitution is not anti-American, what is?
From the U.S. Constitution, Article VI (emphasis added):
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
One can stare at that as many times as one likes and parse it ’til the cows come home and it still nowhere says “except Oklahoma.”
Republican mayoral candidate Anna Falling said Tuesday that putting a Christian creationism display in the Tulsa Zoo is No. 1 in importance among city issues that include violent crime, budget woes and bumpy streets.

Falling, who has founded several Christian nonprofits and is a former city councilor, also said the next mayor needs to appoint people to city boards, authorities and commissions who will “honor God.”

When asked whether she meant she would recruit Christians to serve the city, Falling said she was talking about “people committed to their churches,” and when asked whether she meant Christian churches, she said, “churches, yes.” Source
Fanaticism is a dish best not served at all.
“Fanaticism is a dish best not served at all.”
The Texas School Board system (which selects the textbooks students will read in all the public schools) is trying to remove any books that mention Abraham Lincoln, Cesar Chavez, etc. They want to add Rush L, Dobson, and the rest of the fundies. Prob is, the board is stacked with repukes, so most likely it will pass.
Sheer insanity.
