I saw this over at AMERICAblog, and thought I'd pass it on: quote:
State Board of Education member Connie Morris took exception Wednesday to a picture of a made-up creature that satirizes the state's new science standards hanging on a Stucky Middle School teacher's door.

quote:
Board chairman Steve Abrams, who voted for the new standards, didn't see the picture but said he thinks that the Flying Spaghetti Monster is silly.
"Personally, I think it's juvenile," he said.
Damn, another irony meter busted all to hell! |
The foundation of morality is to . . . give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibliities of knowledge.

Guess who voted for ID to be included in school science class?
quote:
Gamble said she told the principal that it was his decision whether the monster could stick around.
"I advised the principal that Morris has no authority," she said. "I told him to deal with his staff as he saw fit, not by what a state board member says."
Hooray for Gamble. Guess how she voted?

Apparently he doesn't get it. What a surprise he doesn't get science either.
quote:
The picture was still on the door at the end of the school day Wednesday.
Hooray for the teacher. |
