The Revisionaries, the documentary about the battles over evolution education at the Texas state board of education, will be playing at the Sarasota Film Society’s 23rd Annual Cine-World Film Festival (flip to page 26 in the book). The screenings will be at noon on November 9 and at 2:00 p.m. on November 11, at Burns Court Cinemas and/or Lakewood Ranch Cinemas (the website is unclear as to the exact venue) in Sarasota.
A description of the film: “Once in a decade, the 15 members of the Texas State Board of Education meet in Austin to revise the textbook standards for five million schoolchildren. Led by Don McLeroy, a Young-Earth Creationist and Evangelical Christian, the panel implements standards that will ultimately go into effect in science and history textbooks for schoolchildren across the nation. The Revisionaries is a galvanizing peek behind the curtain at the politicization of education.”
My favorite quote from Don Mc Leroy “Some one has to stand up to these experts” Just another lier for Jesus, who wants to force his pathetic religious convictions on the rest of us. Another bible zelot who thinks his three thousand year old book trumps modern scientific research.
