You should note, however, that the book "A Man Called Peter: The Story of Peter Marshall", is not about him, but about his father, who was a Scottish immigrant and pastor of the United States Senate in the 1940s. It's not self-promotion. Dear Sir,

There's already such a broad disparity between the educational quality of states, and now this. We, as a country, cannot put students at such a disadvantage when it comes to understanding the world around them. If we sit idle, we're letting these theocrats cripple the intellectual development of our future generations.

What if other states set a "reality-based" curriculum instead of a "Fundie Fantasy" curriculum? Wouldn't they just buy other books?
