NH Bill Would Roll Back Teaching of Evolution

Screwy NH Bill Would Roll Back Teaching of Evolution
Quote:To state Rep. Jerry Bergevin, the horrors of the Columbine school shooting and the atrocities of Nazi Germany are linked by the theory of evolution, and that's all the evidence he needs to see that New Hampshire's children shouldn't be taught that it's correct.

Bergevin, a Republican from Manchester serving his first term, introduced one of two bills that will be before the Legislature next year addressing evolution, the first in the state since the late 1990s.

The second bill, introduced by Reps. Gary Hopper of Weare and John Burt of Goffstown, more vaguely calls for science teachers to "instruct pupils that proper scientific (inquiry) results from not committing to any one theory or hypothesis . . . and that scientific and technological innovations based on new evidence can challenge accepted scientific theories."

Hopper points to the state constitution and its order that teachers support their students' "morality and piety" for the justification of his bill.

And of course they already have in mind who will determine what constitutes "morality and piety".

"morality and piety".....oh yeah, that's got so much to do with learning to read and math and science and so on. This is the stuff that really makes me mad.

The more the country evolves,
the freakier the freaks get!

Idiocracy is looking more and more like a documentary instead of a comedy movie.
