Here’s your Tuesday “Oh my god” video, of a “science teacher” (I use the term loosely) in Dayton, Tennessee, explaining how he gives a “fair shake” to both Creationism and evolution (AKA “science”) in his classroom, spliced in with classroom comments from his students. My favorite one is the guy at the end who says:
How can like an African-American person evolve from a white person? We’re different skin.
(h/t Pharyngula)
We’re different skeeeeeeeeeeinn. Wow. I can’t even begin to unpack the utter disregard for education shown by everyone in this video who isn’t the narrator, and I don’t have time, so I won’t try.
What does this have to do with gay rights or the Religious Right? Nothing except, oh, the obvious link between this sort of third world quality education and adults who vote to take away LGBT rights.
