A sensible decision from Texas

The Institute for Creation Science has been trying for some time to be allowed to issue Masters Degrees in Science Education in young earth creationism. Since this isn't science they have not been successful in California so they moved to Texas, hoping the anti-science sentiment there would allow them to peddle mythology degrees as 'science'But no. Even Texas isn't that stupid
A federal judge has thrown out a lawsuit by a creationism think tank and school that attempted to force the state of Texas to allow it to offer master's degrees in science education.
In 2008, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board rejected the Dallas-based Institute for Creation Research's application to offer master's degrees, which taught science from a biblical perspective. The institute's graduate school sued in 2009, claiming the board violated its constitutional right to free speech and religion.
U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks of Austin found no merit in the institute's claims and criticized its legal documents as "overly verbose, disjointed, incoherent, maundering and full of irrelevant information."
Next stop South Carolina perhaps?
"overly verbose, disjointed, incoherent, maundering and full of irrelevant information" sounds just like the 'science' they come up with.
