Looks like it's up for a vote to remove creationism/ID equal time in sciences classes. Hope they get it right but not holding my breath.

If they want to teach creationism in schools, by all means let them. But instead of teaching it in science curricula, it should be part of a course entitled something like, 'Some Of The Monumentally Stupid Things Some People Believe'.

They don't necessarily get equal time in classrooms anyway. Much of it depends on the teacher and school district.

I bet they stick with the fish frog butt fucking a mutant squirrel theory . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

How long does it take to say, "Maybe it was all done by magic! OK that's creationism done. Now for science."
