Unintelligently Designed Politician

Rep. Thompson

Ohio State Rep. Andy Thompson (R-Marietta) has introduced HB 597, a bill which would "prohibit [the teaching of] political or religious interpretation of scientific facts in favor of another."

Time out!  

Facts, scientific or other, require no "interpretation."
There is no such thing as religious "fact."  Religious faith, maybe, but not fact.
A fact cannot be "favored" over "another."  There is truth, and there is fiction.

Confusing church with school, Thompson said that some Ohio districts "may have a different perspective . . . on matters of faith, how the earth came into existence, global warming, and other controversial topics [including intelligent design]."  In other words, some Ohioans may be blithering idiots.

History "option"?

In pandering to the idiot base, Thompson claims his bill doesn't mandate what should be taught, but merely aims to provide "options" to school districts.  Options?

Options:  Coffee or tea?  Pepperoni or sausage?  White, wheat or rye?
Not options:  Evolution.  Global warming.  1+1 = 2.

Poor dumb Andy.  For him and other doorknobs who can't tell the difference between proven fact and personal faith, Buster suggests an optional brain scan!
