Between that and the Georgia book label thing, it all drives me crazy. I don't mind them teaching evolution. I don't mind them teaching creationism. But teach both, put stickers on books for both, or mandate both, or mandate neither.

Hey, if you want to mandate that creationism be tought in school due to your religous beliefs so kids are "well rounded"; fine. Why don't you start teaching evolution in Sunday school?
What's good for the goose is good for the gander. If you're going to teach creationism, which religoun do you pick?
Before you know it, the kids will have to start calling dinosaurs "Jesus horses".
I'd love to take credit for that because its genius, but I have to say I heard it on SNL.
I forgot about that "Jesus horse" bit on SNL. That just made my day all over again.
