Tennessee Monkeys

SK Bubba points us to this article in the Maryville, TN DailyTimes. Seems that the seven member school board voted 2-1 to not use textbooks which solely taught evolution, and had no creationist hack inclusions. The four brave abstainers have to be commended for leading Blount County towards the same ignominy that overcame the Kansas Board of Education, which did essentially the same thing.

My only question here is, if the Christers and Fundies can force my kid to learn about "creationism" in school, once the so-called faith-based dollars start flowing to Christer and Fundie churches, can I sue them to teach evolution?

It's sad that what this is really about is that the C & F's want to abdicate parenting to schools, churches, anyone but themselves while pushing a political agenda that is utterly destructive economically and morally...and we all have to live with their intellectual laziness and dishonesty.
