Actually . . . the atheist in me that managed to escape this very same educational system . . . is completely conflicted about how to respond to news like this.
On the one hand, I could celebrate the idiocy of this curriculum. As some memes say about creationist curriculum, "my children won't be hiring yours". They are UN-educating themselves out of the opportunity to make their mark on the future. This kind of "education" will only help bring about the downfall of fundamentalist christianity, except for in little isolated communities in Tennessee or Kentucky or ____. They will have no power in politics or industry or media.
On the other hand . . . those poor children. What a complete waste of good brain-power.
