More "Intelligent Design" nonsense.

Kentucky's governor wants Intelligent Design taught as science.

Kentucky's governor, Fletcher, at his state of the common wealth speech advocated for teaching Intelligent Design as science in Kentucky schools.
I find it quite amusing that in the same speech, the governor espoused :

“Educational achievement and Kentucky’s economic future go hand in hand,” Fletcher said. “To improve education we must keep and attract quality educators.”

This is just so priceless. We have Kansas board of education redefining science to include supernatural means and now a governor advocating for thinly veiled religion to be taught as science. Republicans always bemoan about how liberals, "activist" judges are trying to circumvent the U.S. constitution but the repugs are actually doing the very same thing they're falsely accusing liberals and judges of doing. Hello, separation of church and state? You repubs who claim to be holier than liberals/democrats/independents have heard of that, right?

We've admonished Muslim countries for their inability to separate government and religion. We've mocked them as having third rate governments for letting religion influence government policies yet the very same reasoning we give to admonish, mock and justify claims of why there appear to be so many fundamental extremists in Arab world is happening here, in America, right now. Preaching something you don't practice is one of the prime reason why so many people around the world despise America. Current Intelligent Design debacle is yet another shining example of American hypocrisy at its finest.

  • Really, in the Western world, America is the only place where this is even an issue. Weird.
