This is really sad. I thought republicans were for limited government and personal responsibility. But when it comes to education, they apparently believe it’s the government’s role to make sure my children are introduced to Biblical literalism, and that I’m no longer responsible for teaching my children my faith. Big government will do it all for me.

If this is what the party intends to push, then they’ll continue to see the rational republicans, who are just as much a part of this party as the fundamentalists, flee for more intellectually honest political alternatives.
