Father Coughlin Award Nominee

Texas Board of Education member and Professional Creationist Nutjob Cynthia Dunbar, for her unhinged fearmongering rant about an Obama presidency. And yes, she’s a product of that diploma mill known as Regent University!

Perhaps we ought to try and get her law license revoked for the good of society. Her anti-Obama screed and attempts to push Genesis 1:1 as the only acceptable science textbook certainly qualify as “Influencing improperly a government agency or official.” And if nothing else, she’ll be so busy defending her meal ticket that she won’t have time to try to turn Texas’ public schools into Christianist indoctrination centers.

My alma mater, Westwood High School, was at the center of a book banning controversy my freshman year that received extensive local coverage. It is one of the three key events in my life that turned me off of organized religion in general.
