The Revisionaries Page #9
they're gonna learn
for the first time
the real history.
There is no way
that we can go forward
with this document.
It's not representative
of my district.
It's not representative of...
Explain instances
of institutional racism
in American society.
All those opposed.
The amendment fails.
We don't want to talk
about discrimination.
So there!
These books?
Oh, we don't want
to read these.
My gosh!
[thud]
I am ashamed
of what we have done
to the teachers
and to the students
of this state.
The Board is open
for the vote.
We're voting on second reading
and final adoption
of chapter 113,
sub-chapter 'C'...
High school, as amended.
9 to 5.
Motion carries.
At least in science,
we were able to hold
a majority of eight
to not let
the far-right faction win
every vote
every time
and win the day.
On history,
because they attacked it
from all angles
and all sides,
because every
far-right Board member
brought amendments
to the table,
it was devastating.
I have to say that the folks
in my office
probably spent two weeks
nursing our wounds,
'Cause it was just...
it was a really brutal fight.
I enjoyed my time
on the Board.
However,
it was a lot of work,
and I did it
as public service.
and I'd like
to step back and say,
okay, I did the best
that I could
in the job
that I was given
in the framework
that we operate in.
But looking down the road,
do I think that education,
which is inherently religious,
is something that has to be
a primary secular purpose
when that goes against
the religious ideology
of the majority of Americans?
Their godless left-wing culture
has taken over
the mainstream media.
They have taken over
our universities.
Thousands of professors
have converted our universities
into left-wing seminaries.
And for the last two years,
with the help
of their young converts,
these so-called experts
have taken over
our national government.
Well, I disagree
with those experts.
Somebody's got to stand up
to experts.
[cheers]
You are the last best hope.
It is your activism
that is the last best hope
for keeping Texas
new curriculum standards.
Texas new curriculum standards
are the last best hope
for American education.
and American education
is the last best hope
for America,
which is the last best hope
of earth.
Thank you.
[cheers]
Thank you, Don.

d I am a man
d 'with' constant sorrow
d I've seen trouble
d all my day
One of the nice things
about being a dentist
is when you, uh...
I have an audience every day,
every morn...
you know, all day long,
I have about seven or eight
different people
that I get to practice on.
and they can't do
much talking back.
I know.
it's just wonderful.
Yeah, they're cap...
You've got a captive audience,
Don't you?
And most of 'em are
ideologically aligned with me,
And if they're not,
they need to hear it anyway,
right?
dd

How are y'all doing?
Good.
How are you?
Okay.
There you go.
Hey, good.
I'm out here trying to get
people to vote for me.
I hope they will.
There's some professors
that have been running radio ads,
and I've heard three of 'em
just this morning
In the little bit of the radio
I've listened to.
And they mocked me.
It's amazing.
They say, "hey, Texans",
and it's a real hillbilly voice.
"Hey, Texans,
we have a problem.
"Don McLeroy serves
on the State Board of Education.
"He believes the earth's
less than 10,000 years old
and that men
walked with dinosaurs. "
And guess what they call
themselves.
"the Citizens for a Smart
State Board of Education. "
Hi.
Appreciate your support
for State Board Education.
Thanks for coming out today.
Hi.
Appreciate your vote
for State Board Education.
All right, we're going over
to the student center
Over at Texas A&M.
So here's the campus.
Are you voting?
Yes.
Oh, vote for Don McLeroy
for State Board of Education, OK?
Thank you.
See, you could see she was a voter.
I mean...
How can you tell?
'Cause she wasn't going to class.
Keep the State Board
of Education smart.
Vote against Don McLeroy
in the Republican primary.
Ha, ha!
But on the fifth day,
He creates the breath of life.
The creatures.
'Cause he makes fish and birds.
Alright!
Hey, Texans, we have a problem.
Don McLeroy.
58.76... 41.24.
I'll take it. Let's go eat.
Whew. I'm behind.
OK, OK. See you later.

Lord, we thank you
for the opportunity we have
to study your word.
Your word is the truth.
It is the absolute truth.
We know it's the truth.
We got lots of reasons for it.
One of 'em is from the lesson
we see today.
We're gonna talk about the flood,
The judgment of the flood of Noah.
The main thing you got to
realize about this lesson is,
this is sin.
God's gonna destroy it.
But he's gonna save 8 people
And a bunch of critters, OK?
And what's the purpose of it?
To judge sin.
They actually show
what it could be.
You got storage on the top.
You got the bottom deck...
would be all the poop, right?
where all the critters live,
right?
And so then they could shovel
all that poop
Down in there, right?
And then Noah and the grains...
They could live up there.
And they could go
along the top, maybe,
and just put some food in
for the critters, alright?
Make sense? Three decks?
Yep.
Pretty smart to me!
Pretty good design!
People don't think
there was enough room
for all the animals on the ark.
What do y'all think?
- Yes.
- I think there was.
You think there was?
Let's go to the park.
We're gonna have some fun.
Come on.
- Ooh, park.
- Whoo-hoo!
What about dinosaurs?
Were dinosaurs on the ark?
- No.
- Sure they were! We don't know!
We'll have 4 cones
For the 4 corners of the ark.
And then we'll see how many animals
You all can think of
to see if you can fill it up,
Okay?
Start thinkin' of critters.
Think of all the critters.
- Deer!
- A bird!
- Deers!
Oh, deers!
- Antelope.
- Fox!
Antelopes.
- Monkeys!
- Caribou!
- Caribous.
- Zebras.
- Zebras!
Aw, man, here we go.
Antelopes. Mountain goats.
What else?
- Rams.
- Rams? Okay.
- Boars.
- Boars!
Oh, and the pigs, the wild pigs.
- Beavers.
- Beavers.
There you go.
- Platypus!
- Platypuses.
Scorpions. Iguanas.
- Crickets!
- Monkeys!
I will tell you this:
it is an absolute fact
for all the creatures
to have fit on that ark.
Plenty of room for two of each.
- How high?
- Ostrich.
One, two, three, four.

...and will, to the best of my ability,
Protect, defend,
and preserve
the constitution and laws
of the United States.
[all]
The constitution and laws
of the United States.
And of this state.
And of this state.
So help me God.
So help me God.
