“On October 26, 2007, Ms. Comer forwarded an e-mail from her TEA email account to a group of people that announced a presentation on creationism and intelligent design entitled ‘Inside Creationism’s Trojan Horse.’ The e-mail states that the speaker is a board member of a science education organization that opposes teaching creationism in public education. Ms. Comer’s e-mail suggests endorsement of the speaker and suggests that TEA endorses the speaker’s position on a subject on which the agency must remain neutral.” -Excerpts from a memorandum concerning disciplinary action against Christine Castillo-Comer, the Director of Science for the Texas Education Agency (TEA), November 5, 2007.
