From the Dept of I Can't Make This Stuff Up: Teaching Darwin splits Pennsylvania town: "We've been attacked by the intelligent, educated segment of the culture."

Fafblog to the rescue: Freedom From Reality: "Freed from the tyranny of Reality and the dangerous threat of its advance guard, Information, America's youth will be free to live in a world consisting solely of their own pre-existing beliefs, where messy ideological review and examination of fact have become unnecessary."

And again with the Fafblog: The New Adventures of LifeMan!, protector of all things good and politically expedient.

For idoru and others who protest the fall of the English language OMG, hit and run.

I want to think that the guy you pull-quoted was making air-quotes when he said that. But:

"It took 30 or 40 years to eliminate God in school, it will take probably 30 or 40 years to get him back. You take a little step first, a little bite, then another little bite and another," said Steve Farrell, a nursery keeper, who dreams of the return to prayer in class.

True dat.

Fine, but what are you doing about it?

Ahh. The 'Roses.. ' poem made me smile.

My personal favorite variant, though it is much less grammatically smug, goes as follows:

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
I baked you cookies;
Will you go out with me?

[By my friend Leo, to ask a girl out. Along with a plate of cookies.]

Your intelligence and education will not succeed in breaching that bastion of ignorance and stupidity!

Personally, I really have to restrain the urge to kill those people. Having prayer in schools.... Say I don't want to pray in school? What would they do? Really! Talk about violating the wall of separation. Mind you, this very wall was put in place by rather religious men, they obviously didn't see it as a bad thing to keep the church and government separate.

Not like prayer in schools would fix violence. In fact, prayer in schools might have inspired me to greater violence.

Response to first article, then: Rargh! Wolf smash!
