re: #88 aagcobb

The good news of this story, which as a Kentuckian I’d like to emphasize, is that the cretinists lost this battle in Kentucky. As the story said, the Kentucky GOP pushed to tie Kentucky testing to national standards, and now a couple of idiots are expressing their butthurt because it means real science has to be taught in Kentucky so that our kids can compete nationally, instead of their fairy tale. Good News!

That is good news, and a victory for practical politics. That said, state legislators should not be given too much credit for figuring out that it is both better governance and better politics to set a proper curriculum even if it means ignoring your religious opinion in the science classroom. They should be simply told “Thank you, you did the right thing and we’re glad you did.” and the matter left at that.
