At There is a Christian war against teaching evolution in Florida where I live I wrote about the Christian assholes in my state who are attacking science education.
A quote from the newspaper article:
The anti-science measure Gov. Rick Scott signed into law in June, for instance, carefully avoided a direct mention of evolution, although a stack of affidavits filed by members of the Naples-based Florida Citizens Alliance, who championed the bill, made it plain what this was about.
“Most Americans believe that the world and the beings living on it were created by God as revealed in the Bible.” said one. Another complained public schools were pushing “the presentation of evolution as fact with no clarifying that this is an unproven theory, and that there are other beliefs as to the origin of life.”
------------------------------------
Obviously these assholes for Jeebus are just plain fucking stupid. Same thing for our Republican governor who is obviously a science denier.
The problem is every student is being cheated. If they get stuck with incompetent biology teachers, those teachers will use the new law to teach magical creationism and/or spread lies about evolution.
The best way to fight this war against education is to have a war against Christian scum. I suggest relentless ridicule. Also the governor needs to be thrown out the window.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
