And gravity and evolution are "just" theories.

Possibly. I go through anti-social phases. Work is finally died down as well, so I'll likely be around more. Smile

Love that Camus quote. That's one for the ages.
In fact, I'm betting I could devote a whole essay just looking at that quote. I should try that. I'll report back. Wink

But I bet those kids' "self-esteem" is high. They may be as dumb as fucking rocks but the schools exist only to make them feel good about themselves!

Sad truth.

I was the last year as far as the "SOL" testing (read: Standards of Learning, or Shit Outta Luck) went that didn't HAVE to pass in order for the school to receive funding/credits/etc. The year afterwards had to pass...thus...the standards were lowered.

An issue George Carlin dealt with years ago.

I'm sure the middle east thought that also right between the times of their scientific enlightenment and the current dark age from which they have yet to exit.
But whatever. As the religious folk like to say, God does not suffer fools.
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
