evolving stupidity
Creation seems to have won a small victory in Georgia with the state's school superintendent proposing to remove the word evolution from the school's biology textbooks. This decision, besides being a shameful attempt to befuddle a generation of school kids reflects a slow but certain spilling over of fundamentalist attitudes from inside homes out into society. As of now, it's only erstwhile president Jimmy Carter who has expressed a rather strong opinion, I'd certainly be interested in what the current POTUS' views are on the topic. Apparently the Georgia school board has a history of taking strange decisions.
