Wow, I thought some things were just so stupid it's odious, but this is just odiously stupid. Apparently preserving the local bully religion takes precedence over their children's future.

If you can't get religion throught the front door, try the back...
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Do you people always insult others of your kind?

This is not good. It throws the doors wide open for the teaching of intelligent design and climate denial. The fundamentalists will not stop until they have both pseudo-sciences on the agenda. I am worried that this will set a precedent and start a chain reaction in other states. Score one for the wedge strategy.

I would love to post that story on my Facebook page but my fundamentalist friends and relatives would gloat at the victory. Ugh!!
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise

-"said the vocal and proud ethnocentrist"

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
