Rant
No big surprise, but it is all incremental. And we don't do well with incremental. We respond to airplanes slamming into our building by spinning the story to bomb two countries who weren't really involved. However, if you can add 2 and 2, and even I can do that, this country has gone over the top in going over to the right.
While Georgia was ordered to removed the stickers in the text book that read, "Evolution is just a theory, not fact."
I have been thinking of stickers myself, "Gravity is just a theory, not fact." or "God is just a myth, not a fact"
I am feeling pretty confident about the gravity theory.
Anyway, the incremental nudge that got me ranting today was in the OP-Ed page of the NYT. Two pieces, one was how a majority of high school students do not think a free press is a good idea. They should have to ask the government what they can and cannot not print. And why wouldn't they?
The other was how schools are staying away from teaching evolution out of fear for reprisal.
How many things do we loose before our constitution isn't our constitution anymore?
