The American constitution, so enshrined in the mumbo-jumbo of American politico-religious interpretation has once again failed to separate church and state by allowing a teacher to forward a personal opinion of their interpretation of the universe rather than adhering strictly to scientifically established guidelines.
In Tenessee, one can stand in front of a class of children who are there to learn and tell them that the great purple octopus Mubaa Boobaa that lives in the sky with his horde of one-legged hampsters pushes the clouds around and if you don't make him happy by reciting his scriptures and standing on one leg for three hours a day in honor of his hampsters he will send a tornado to blow away your house. You won't even get prosecuted or fired for it!
My hopes for western civilization dwindle daily.
