Reason #9 Why Lucia and I Live in Misery: Science BAD!

News hit this week that the high school band in Sedalia stirred up some controversy with t-shirts depicting apes evolving into band geeks. Apparently, some religious zealots were up in arms over the school's overt promotion of evolution. The shirts were returned.

Really? Where do we live? Tennessee circa 1926? Kansas circa 2008?

It worries me that schools would fold on such an issue. If they can't stand up for science because it's confused for religion, what are they teaching the students in this state? What will they teach Lucia when the time comes?

You know, Jesus didn't do a lot of algebra... Well, Lucia will know about evolution whether the schools teach it or not. She may or may not know much about religion, but she'll certainly know about science. Maybe her mother will share memories from her Catholic upbringing.
