Florida's reputation for flakiness is at stake

Carl Hiaasen writes in the Miami Herald: Our reputation for flakiness is at stake:

In a move that could endanger Florida's flaky backwater reputation, the
state Board of Education is poised to endorse the teaching of evolution as a
science.

This is a dangerous idea -- not the presentation of Darwinism in
schools, but the presentation of Florida as a place of progressive scientific
thought.

I agree with Mr. Hiaasen. It is a dangerous idea for Florida to "boldly going against the flow, in defiance of reason and all known facts". What are we thinking?

If you do not know what's happening, Florida is adding Evolution as a science to the school curriculum. There was a hearing in Orlando, where lots of kooks came out of the woodwork to talk against this "theory". Especially interesting is this learned gentleman talking about oranges and cats.

It would be funny if it weren't so pathetic.
