"Boys and girls," Ham said. If a teacher so much as mentions evolution, or the Big Bang, or an era when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, "you put your hand up and you say, 'Excuse me, were you there?' Can you remember that?".

I don't think Ham realizes it, but his views on reality and history is very close to what is taught in uber-left wing liberal arts departments around this country.

The popular view these days among liberal academics is that the only legitimate way to view history is through one's own experiences, and that the viewpoint of an illiterate laborer is just as valuable in the historic record as, say, Abraham Lincoln's.

Politics is a closed universe - go too far off the right end and you emerge on the far left.
