Maybe I should write textbooks...

A fist bump to PZ Myers for bringing this to my attention. If you're a parent of young children or an educator, you should be terrified.

“Evolution is hooey.” This bled into a rant about American history. “The secular humanists may argue that we are a secular nation,” McLeroy said, jabbing his finger in the air for emphasis. “But we are a Christian nation founded on Christian principles. The way I evaluate history textbooks is first I see how they cover Christianity and Israel. Then I see how they treat Ronald Reagan—he needs to get credit for saving the world from communism and for the good economy over the last twenty years because he lowered taxes.”


Read the whole article. It's frightening.

I'm really going to bed now. Gonna read 'The Science of Leonardo'. Good stuff.
