I find that people who want to make "religion" part of the school sytem, they get in over their head. Mention of God doesn't seem to cause many people much trouble. But to teach creation studies as part of Science or as an "option" to science, as someone suggested, makes me wonder,,are we going to end up in a theocratic country with the equivalent of berka wearing. It is disturbing.
Oh, I understand; he's very good on a number of political issues, but his science knowledge is deplorable. Hard to fathom, as he's a grad of that very upscale Washington area prep school as I recall.
He's also gone off the reservation in recent years with his "populist" stuff -- anti-big-business, anti-globalization, anti-free-trade rants and that sort of thing. Very out of character; very calculated to increase his political base beyond the hard core conservatives.
I'm sorry, did I say "opportunist"? I didn't mean to.....
Indeed. I believe Pat to be a good guy as well. However, this is high school level stuff. It's time to do a bit of research Pat!
