This man deserves an atomic wedgie
A few minutes with a biology teacher from Dayton, Tennessee:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1Prm_vQQcM
(2min 55sec)

He's required by law to teach ONLY evolution. Instead, he does his "equal time" thing.

He encourages his kids to think incredulity is a suitable refutation.

He encourages preemptive victimhood. You know the drill -- THEY think you're a God-believing yokels.

He fills their heads with homemade mudpies. Creationists are "lumpers" and "evolutionists" are "splitters", WTF is THAT all about?

Separation is brazenly violated in his classroom. God is a normal discussion topic, though I'm sure he's careful not to initiate it or use the G word. He lets his kids do the dirty work.

You'll see in the video what this kind of "education" does to his students:
"We didn't like, evolve from anything, that doesn't make any sense. I mean, how can like, an African-American person evolve from a white person? We're different skin."

This is from 1996! We've lost this one badly, a whole generation gone. Surveys consistently show evolution is regarded as myth by a majority of the public. Teaching evolution in most state curriculums is mediocre to non-existent, because it's a 3rd rail issue.

And this asshole needs to be wedged until he has to cut eyeholes in his Fruit of the Looms.

3. That part is even more disturbing -
how does one arrive at such a bizarre conclusion without a lot of 'help' from loons masquerading as teachers ?
