Legislature: Group says evolution handout contains anti-Semitic material
08:02 AM CST on Thursday, February 15, 2007
By KAREN BROOKS and ROBERT T. GARRETT / The Dallas Morning News
AUSTIN - House Appropriations Chairman Warren Chisum said Wednesday
that he's "willing to apologize" for giving colleagues a document
that contains what the Anti-Defamation League called "outrageous
anti-Semitic material."
"The stuff that causes conflicts between religious beliefs, you know,
I'd never be a party to that," Mr. Chisum said. "I'm willing to
apologize if I've offended anyone."
....
On Tuesday, the Pampa Republican distributed a memo written by Georgia
GOP Rep. Ben Bridges to Texas House members' mailboxes. The memo
advocated that schools stop teaching evolution and contained links to
a Web site that warns of international Jewish conspiracies. It also
directed readers to the group that created the Web site - the
Atlanta-area Fair Education Foundation.
....
"I did not go to the Web site, which I understood maybe I should've
done," he said.
....
The memo points to "indisputable evidence" that "evolution science has
a very specific religious agenda" and refers readers to a Web site
that asserts the universe revolves around the earth. It also suggests
that Jewish physicists are part of the force behind a "centuries-old
conspiracy" to destroy the Christian teachings of Earth's origins.

So Chisum is either a lying bigot or a moron.
The memo points to "indisputable evidence" that "evolution science has
a very specific religious agenda" and refers readers to a Web site
that asserts the universe revolves around the earth. It also suggests
that Jewish physicists are part of the force behind a "centuries-old
conspiracy" to destroy the Christian teachings of Earth's origins.
The Christian teaching of the Earth's origin is the Jewish teaching of
the Earth's origin, or have they forgotten that Genesis is part of the
JEWISH Bible?
