I'm glad I don't live in the South.
You probably didn't hear about this, but Georgia Secretary of State Cathy Cox wanted to strike the word 'evolution' out of the state curriculum(this idea didn't last after everyone with a brain said 'WTF? You're crazy, woman!').
It's the flipside of the Boulder, CO city council changing all city animal ordinances to replace the word "pet" with "animal companion."
I hate political correctness, whether on the Left or Right.
PS: I do think evolution should be taught as theory, not fact.
