Michele Bachmann (R-Mars): Not Teaching Creationism Is ‘Censorship’
Just to drive home the point that the Republican Party has become the anti-science bad craziness party, Michele Bachmann came out today and joined Rick Santorum in calling for creationism to be taught in public school science classes.

So the government would prohibit intelligent design from even the possibility of being taught in questioning the issueof evolution. And if you look at scientists there is not a unanimity of agreement on the origins of life. … Why would we forestall any particular theory? Becuase I don’t think that even evolutionists, by and large, would say that this is proven fact. They say that this is a theory, as well as intelligent design. So I think the best thing to do is to let all scientific facts on the table, and let students decide.
