I don't know about him, but I distinctly remember being a haddock and thinking "today I'll grow legs..."

I am entertained that he has so thoroughly demonstrated that he has no idea what the hell he's talking about but he words his arguement like he has the FACTS. Clearly, his man is demonstrated proof of the absolute necessity for an improvement in the Knoxville community school system.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

I imagine that this redneck asshole thinks he is quite clever. Probably has a whole church full of other redneck assholes telling him "good job."
