Amazing, but Sad

This is a real life quote from a member of the House GOP.

"evolution, embryology and the Big Bang theory — all of that is lies straight from the pit of hell.”

And this guy is a medical Doctor!

I would be more supportive of vouchers for private schools if I knew for sure that schools were not teaching drivel like this.  I'm beginning to believe that the U.S. is falling behind other countries in science and math, not because of underperforming schools in the inner city, but rather because of what is being taught in schools where curriculum is dominated by politics and religion rather than education.


And then there is this observation from someone I don't know, but can certainly agree with his aggravation.  I hate taking my leather soled shoes off at the airport.

"One failed attempt at a shoe bomb, and we all take our shoes off at the airport.  Thirty one school shootings since Columbine and no change in our gun regulations."
