Student slaps FL public schools with suit for refusing to teach evolution because it contradicts the Bible

No wonder American students do shitty compared to foreigners.  Look at the burdens they have to overcome because of idiot adults.

There you go again Min. One day I'll break you of the habit, but America does not do shitty compared to foreigners. Only if the only foreigners in your world are from Western Europe and Japan.

Yes he's comparing us to other first world nations. Not third world nations. His bar is higher than that. We're supposed to be a developed first world nation, but we do considerably pooer than other places like Europe, Japan, Sweden, and such. Still being better than places like North Korea isn't saying very much.

Makes you wonder what else they're not teaching.

I bet they aren't teaching them the earth is on 4 elephants on top of an infinite stack of turtles either.

I don't understand why people believe that the U.S. is comparable to Europe and Japan (of all places!). These are vastly different areas, historically, ethnically and culturally, than the Americas. Both Europe and Asia (namely Japan and South Korea for the sake of this argument) have native populations that have been established for centuries. Many countries in each region are also nowhere near as ethnically diverse as the U.S. Seriously, Japan is one of the most homogeneous, mono-cultural countries on the planet! How is it in any way comparable to the U.S. other than that they're both first world countries?

The U.S. has far more in common and is more comparable to younger countries with similar histories of European colonization, native displacement, and slave importation.

Really, Capn.  Are you giving up on 'Murrica as a first-world nation?  ( Not that you would be wrong to do so...we started down the Banana Republic road with the "election" of 2000.)

Far from being the "greatest" you sound content to compete in Pool B.  I grant you that it is easier to pick shittier competition than to fix problems but really.... I don't want to hear this "We're #1" shit anymore.

This country is only a few centuries old, yet it became a superpower so quickly. We achieved a lot. We were the first secular nation. We were once at the top of the manufacturing business. We are an excellent country. Then it got corrupted by religious extremists and rich capitalists. We are a first world country, and the only way we can get better is if we try to reach for other first world countries. Not just compare ourselves to the rest of the rabble.

Actually I think China has passed us for #1 in billionaires.  We're fucking that up, too.
