This hearing tomorrow, (Tuesday 2014/09/16) is a general hearing about the social studies textbooks that are up for adoption. Right now, there is a window where publishers can make changes to books prior to the final adoption/rejection that happens at the November SBOE meeting. For this hearing, it’s best as a strategy to first try […]
Rewriting Texas history books to instill American (Judeo-Christian) Exceptionalism
When I first started studying for the Texas Social Studies Textbook hearings last week to testify with Aron on Tuesday, I expected to find the most egregious historical misrepresentations by non-mainstream publishers like Worldview Software. And of course they didn’t fail to disappoint. Here is a quote from a Texas Freedom Network briefing to give you […]
Dan Arel’s support is much appreciated. (Thanks for everyone’s support)
Since Aron launched his Patreon, he has been overwhelmed by the by all of the support he has gotten. The support has given him more time for new projects. These are a few of the new things he has been up to in the last 2 months. Like Dan Arel wrote, he has already put […]
Duck Cage
I guess this is the star of Duck Dynasty. I don’t know; I’ve never seen the show. Anyway he says that atheists will be converted to end-times Christians if we watch the remake of ‘Left Behind’ starring Nicholas Cage. Can it believe it took this for me to finally lose the last of my respect […]
Irrational Rowlett – again
This video is from last April. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v46oAeOWkLg Last year, we had a bit of a confrontation with the city of Rowlett Texas, and the invocation that was illegal then, and for which they will not be held accountable. Now things have changed, but the more things change, the more they stay the same, and you’re […]
A reminder note from a Christian that Asians don’t belong here

Ra-Men – Being progressive
I’m doing a new podcast. Mark Nebo of BeSecular co-hosts the show, and he acts as producer as well. He wanted a title that had my name in it. My sense of humor came up with the Ra-Men. I want to do something different. Anybody can bitch about any situation and every solution anyone ever […]
My 3rd of the Unholy Trinity
This was my contribution to the first tour of the Unholy Trinity. It is so bizarre when I find myself addressing a full house from the podium of a church. I would have worn a blazer like I did in Amarillo and Albuquerque, but there was a problem with the air conditioning in that church […]
My 2nd Appearance on The Place
I had a very good interfaith interview with Dr. Jones of the New Covenant Group.
On being Mrs Ra (I get comments)
The first thing I need to get out of the way is for the most part it is great to be Mrs. Ra. I get to meet all sorts of interesting and intelligent freethinkers all over the country. And over time, I have come out of my introverted shell more. The cool thing lately, is […]
