Republicans Reaching Their Goal in “Education Reform”
June 20, 2011 at 3:34 PM Leave a comment
It’s long been a Republican goal to dumb down our education system such that our kids emerge into the real world after completing high school or college as a droan who is (1) willing to vote for them, and (2) willing to work for a less-than-living wage. Looks like they’re making good progress:
Only Two of 51 Miss USA Contestants Believe in Evolution
California’s 21-year-old Alyssa Campanella took the coveted crown in the 60th Miss USA competition last night. Campanella marks a redeeming win for the state after the now-disgraced Californian Carrie Prejean dismissed marriage equality — or as she put it “opposite marriage” — in 2009. Miss USA seemed to take a breather from political controversy until this year, when the pageant decided to ask the contestants whether they believe evolution should be taught in schools in the preliminary round. A self-proclaimed “science geek.” Campanella affirmed that evolution should indeed be taught in schools because she believes in evolution of humans throughout time. This answer, apparently, won her another title last night. She and Massachusetts’ Alida D’Angona were the only two out of 51 contestants to “unequivocally support” evolution.
Sad. Frightening.
