"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

States where taxpayers pay for schools that teach magical creationism instead of evolution. This is totally wrong. Some of it or all of it violates our Establishment Clause. The students learn how to be anti-science morons.
Tax-funded creationism
Green: (Louisiana and Tennessee) - Bible thumping morons teach magical creationism in public schools which requires throwing out our constitution but they are getting away with it.
Orange: (Florida where I live, Indiana, Ohio, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Oklahoma, Wisconsin) - Private schools that teach magical creationism and accept tax-funded vouchers or scholarships.
Red: (Texas) - Charter schools using magical creationism curricula.
What we have here is thousands of students learn how to hate science because they think it's boring.
Even worse is this fact: 72% of American biology teachers are incompetent uneducated morons.
Idiot America will always be an idiot country.
