Here’s another little news bite via Facebook that’s pretty interesting. The snarky libs over at Wonkette report that the Tennessee state House voted overwhelmingly to open the door to the teaching of creationism in classrooms.
“We’re not sure how this is news in Tennessee, where schoolteacher John Scopes lost the ‘Scopes Monkey Trial’ (in both the state courts and the U.S. Supreme Court) back in 1925-26,” Wonkette said, “but Tennessee’s Republican-dominated House … passed a bill that would protect teachers who want to challenge the theory of human evolution.”
Then they stuck the knife in and twisted it: “When the entire graduating class of 2012 applies for the same three night-shift part-time shelf-stocking jobs at the Wal-Mart, does anyone care if the kids believe dinosaur bones were hidden in the earth by the Devil to trick wayward wingnuts?”
