Another American state wants to take it's schools back to the dark ages. Georgian state education officials, led by a Creationist by the way, want to remove the word, but not the concept (for now) of evolution, from teaching in their schools. It is interesting how, having lost the argument in the public sphere, Creationists now seem to go for the kids through indirect means, teach kids evolution and they'd know the Creationists were full of shit, so the Creationists try to prevent them being taught the truth. I wouldn't mind so much if there were some sort of limits put on what jobs a Creationist-taught kid could go for, and when he or she says "Dad, how come cousin Jerry's an accountant and I'm stuck in Burger King?" Dad has to admit it's because he allowed school to teach his child things that weren't true.

Still, a couple more decades of this, Dubya will seem like some mental giant and we'll have a nation of people too thick to use the internet. So everything has it's upside.
