“All the flaws were added by politically unscrupulous SBOE members with an extreme right-wing religious agenda to support Creationism.”

Could we please get supposedly sane writers like Steve Schafersman to drop this stupid meme?

If their agenda calls for using the power of the State to impose the teaching of religious belief in public schools, then I submit to you that such an agenda is fascist, not right-wing. Historically, fascism is a leftist movement, working for the aggrandizement of the State, and of the collective, and not for the rights of the individual.

We have been conditioned to see Fascism as a “right-wing” movement simply because it was so demonized by Stalin, who wanted to destroy a rival Socialist entity, meanwhile conveniently slandering those people who believe in freedom and individual rights.

Blame Josef Stalin, blame Walter Duranty.

Everyone here should buy, and read Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg. Use Charles’ link to buy it from Amazon, and give our host a little kickback.
