There’s a debate going on in Florida right now about the terminology that should be used in teaching public school science courses, specifically biology. I guess I wasn’t paying close enough attention because somewhere along the line, the word evolution was banned from Florida public school science curricula.

It was replaced with, and I am not making this up — ”biological changes over time.” Hmm, sounds kind of like the same thing, only longer, and dumber.

The reason it’s being discussed now is that somebody somewhere noticed that Florida’s public schools are turning out the next generation of idiots because the standards of science taught in our public schools are abysmal, mainly because Bible-thumpers have dumbed the curriculum down to the level of the Good Book.

The state board of education is weighing the matter, taking public comment and is slated to vote on whether Florida continues to be a laughingstock among educators or if the state can actually biologically change over time into a post-Scopes trial, reasoning beast.

As a native Floridian educated in its schools and a long-time resident of the state, I’m thinking it’s just as God made it, and chances are slim to nil that it will evolve into the 21st century.
