god bless jimmy carter

ok, so mm is so proud of jimmy carter, who has publically spoken out against the move by the department of education in his home state of georgia to ban the use of the term evolution in classroom textbooks......the following was lifted from cnn.com......................Former President Jimmy Carter said Friday he was embarrassed by the Georgia Department of Education proposal to eliminate the word "evolution" from the state's curriculum. "As a Christian, a trained engineer and scientist, and a professor at Emory University, I am embarrassed by Superintendent Kathy Cox's attempt to censor and distort the education of Georgia's students," Carter said in a written statement. ......................the christian right is such a scary bunch............to alter education to fit their narrow understanding of the world...............so frightening that people like this can make it to places of power, and enjoy control over what students read to that extent.........
