Former TEA science director files federal lawsuit

Christina Castillo-Comer resigned, under pressure, from the Texas Education Agency last November. She was in charge of the science curriculum in Texas schools and said she lost her job for supporting evolution.

She worked at the TEA for nine years, but her employment came to an abrupt end when supervisors told her she could head for the door or they would be forced to show her to it. Now, Comer has filed – in federal court – to get her job back and her name cleared.

This was a result of a controversial e-mail that Comer forwarded to several people. The e-mail was about a speaker coming to Austin who had critical views of creationism.
