Academic “freedom” bill is closer to law
April 29th, 2008 • education, idiocy
Seems Rep. Stroms and her cronies don’t want to stop with their nonsense. Their bill, incorrectly dubbed an “Academic Freedom” bill, is steps from being signed into law according to the Orlando Sentinel. Great! Scopes and Dover don’t mean anything to these people because they’re morons, up and down. I’m glad the proud citizens of Florida voted these idiots into office and keep them there (I didn’t vote them in, I can’t vote in this state…YET). Governor Crist will happily sign this bill into law, I’m sure. Not because he understands what it’s about or why it’s a bad idea but because he’s an idiot too.
One of the supporters of this bill said the House should welcome signing it into law because it’ll bring lawsuits and they — the representatives in the House, many lawyers — will enjoy having lawsuits to fight over. That means they’re aware they’re signing into law a very unstable bill that will end up getting a number of schools sued and they’re OK with that. No, scratch that. They want that to happen.
I’m glad I don’t have children in this state’s school system but at the same time, sad at the same fact. I can’t send my kid to class with a tape recorder to tape all the stupidity that’s sure to come once August gets here and school’s back in full swing. I can just hear all the litigation now and how this bill will probably get repealed in less than two years for causing such a financial strain on both the school systems and the state.
Yikes! It seems this is causing quite a stir in Florida. I think it’s particularly hilarious that people are arguing that “all viewpoints should be presented.” Evolution isn’t a viewpoint, it is hard science. Religion has no place being taught next to science.
