From Florida Citizens for Science: You’ve got to be kidding me …
Seriously, can we just detach Florida from the rest of the States? There's a reason we say, "It's always Florida", and things like this just reinforce that. This is the state that gave us a teacher being fired for "wizardry", kids who think HIV can be stopped by drinking bleach, and noted hateful, crazy, childish censorship advocate Jack Thompson.
By now, it's time to say "enough is enough" and let Florida drift in the sea.
State Sen. Stephen Wise of Jacksonville announced through an article in the Florida Times Union that he plans to file a bill this legislative session to require evolution to be balanced with a discussion of intelligent design. Yes, require. Not just allow, but to require.Thanks to PZ Myers for pointing this one out.
