Are you surprised?
This really isn't any different to a school that refuses to teach evolution on religous grounds.
I don't agree with their decision (at all), but I don't generalize the whole state. For one, I was born and raised here by teachers that taught in Texas schools, and I know that this decision in no way represents Texans and its citizens (or even the teachers under the Texas Board of Education - funny joke btw
).
Comments like "f*ck Texas" are a bit over the top, especially considering Texas has one of the healthiest economies in the whole country, if not THE healthiest. Add to that the number of great innovation and business coming out of Texas from places like Texas Instruments or Dell.
Anyways, no I'm not really surprised but just find some of the insulting a bit over the top, as a Texan.
