Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) is latching onto a chain email conspiracy theory about the CSCOPE curriculum, which according to detractors promotes Islam, Communism and anti-Americanism.

That’s right; Stockman’s education-themed letter includes two typos:
As Quinn notes, CSCOPE was designed by Texas teachers and has nothing to do with the Obama administration.
