Is our children learning?, Florida style

Sorry to recycle and adapt a post title so quickly, but it fits here.

Florida's K-12 education, already decimated by the backwards policies of Jeb! Bush, is dying from a thousand paper cuts. It's not only Taylor County that doesn't believe in science.

I’m embarrassed.

Sure, the Taylor County school board was apparently the first to pass a resolution complaining about evolution ..., but they’re not the only one.

Two more counties passed resolutions, too: Baker County and Holmes County.

Yes, two more north Florida counties have jumped on the "evolution is just a theory" bandwagon.

This makes me angry on so many levels, not the least of which is that we elect school boards purportedly because they will govern our schools appropriately and because they believe in the value of education. But when the people in charge of our schools blatantly disregard science -- FACTS -- because of their religious faith, which properly belongs in houses of worship and out of public schools altogether, I just can't stand it.

What is wrong with these people? Can't they leave the Sunday school teaching to Sundays and obey the separation of church and state?

Oh, wait, I forgot. Fundies in 2008 = proselytizing freaks. Never mind.
