Florida's Educational Debate (Video)

Florida's educational governing body (State School Board?) has just finished debating whether or not to require schools in the state to teach evolution in its science curriculum. The subject came up when the state realized that it was dead last in science scores among the 50 states. Yep, it's easy for an educated person to see how not teaching prevailing science theory would cause the children to score poorly on science tests.

During the debates and statewide hearings, the uneducated and the religious zealots came out of the woodwork to try to defend their indefensible view of the world. The video below shows one such man trying to make sense of the senseless.
