The DeVos family distributed educational materials on creationism for homeschooling via Amway. Texas was their target for inserting creationism into textbooks.

Texas has the largest school board. 

Textbook companies write textbooks to sell to Texas schools. It’s how creationism got jammed into our public school textbooks. 

"CHAP. I

1 The problem with dinosaurs is that they all tasted like chicken.

2 So when you’re on top of the food chain, things can get pretty dull. Allosaurus for breakfast, tastes like chicken. Dimetrodon for lunch, tastes like chicken.

3 And God spake unto all his creatures, saying, ‘Humans taste like pork.’

4 In Persia, the Tyrannosaurus Rex Melchior heard the word of the Lord, and quoth, ‘What’s pork?’ Lo, in India the great Tyrannosaurus Rex Caspar sayeth unto himself, ‘What’s pork?’ And in Arabia, the great Tyrannosaurus Rex Balthazar sayeth unto himself, ‘I gotta get me some RIBS!’

5 And the three Rexes looked into the sky at night, and lo, a new star appeared. And the Lord spoke unto the Rexes and sayeth, ‘A Child has been born, and the Star will lead you to Him.’

6 And the Rexes each exclaimeth unto himself, ‘Baby back ribs!’

7 One by one, each followed the star to Jerusalem. They had a long road to travel and many times they got lost. It took them years.

8 And they left in their wake a trail of death and devastation. They ate every soul they encountered, yet still they could not be sated. ‘Chicken,’ they spat with disgust. ‘Always it tastes like chicken."

The Gospel According to The Texas Board of Education

"Were dinosaurs on the ark? Sure they were."-Don McLeroy

"Once every decade, the 15 members of the Texas Board of Education meet in Austin to revise the state's textbook standards. 

Led by Don McLeroy, a Young Earth Creationist,  the panel will debate and implement new standards related to science, evolution, social studies, and American history that will go into effect in textbooks adopted by schools across the nation. 

Challenged by outspoken activist Kathy Miller, as well as Thomas Ratliff, a moderate conservative out to unseat him, McLeroy faces an uphill battle, with the fate of American education itself hanging in the balance. 

Sure to be a conversation starter, THE REVISIONARIES is a galvanizing peek behind the curtain at the politicization of education, and a microcosm of our politically and ideologically divided nation this election year."
