That's on the same lines as the Texas textbook debacle. You can't ignore reality for bigot's sake.

One of the easiest ways to con people is to tell them what they want to hear.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

What's next - omitting Mexico to keep from angering USians? Leaving Norway off the map so the Swedes don't get cranky?
Political geography isn't a matter of 'local preferences', ffs.

Seems like in the next mideast war, it might be helpful for the arab soldiers to have a clue about where the fucking targets are, but what do I know ??
