“taught in the public schools of this state as a theory, including the theorists’ political and ideological viewpoints and their position on the concept of atheism.”It sounds like this is not so much about the theory of evolution, but the religous views of the proponents of evolution. In short - he has a bone to pick with them.
"I want the full portrait of evolution and the people who came up with the ideas to be presented. It's a worldview and it's godless. Atheism has been tried in various societies, and they've been pretty criminal domestically and internationally. The Soviet Union, Cuba, the Nazis, China today: they don't respect human rights."Gee.. I guess America returning back to it's Nazi roots would not be very good. Maybe he has a point?
"As a general court we should be concerned with criminal ideas like this and how we are teaching it. . . . Columbine, remember that? They were believers in evolution. That's evidence right there"
One must wonder why he didn't mention the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Should this be taught in schools also?
All this religious talk in politics makes me nervous.
