For some reason when I check preview the link shows up weirdly .. but this story just blows my mind.

1. Wall, Ahll be. Jus cos them sinetests say sumpin' don't make it so.

Will, the gater man, sez water ain't risin'. How kin it? Stuff'll run right offa the side when it gets out there by the sun.

4. Iffin' them dragins doan drink it furst. n/t

3. People could always do that. This reminds me of the VA's

new department of anti-VA complaints -- a means to organize, amplify, and weaponize people's complaints for the purpose of destroying the VA. The VA's specifically protects employees from reprisals for supplying information, true or untrue, to the press and anti-VA groups.

This law will weaponize complaints from outside into a power that can destroy honest science education.

5. They'll catch on when their schools, and the intire state are under water.

And I'm not being funny.

But of course that will be Obama's fault.

Let's create a commission on witches and start burning them. That will fix everything.

Like the florida schools have money and time to waste on paying and appointing some moron to cater to the fundies. Don't they already have tons of fundie charter schools they can use?

Wonder if the ivy league universitites will lower their florida quotas for a few years....

6. Scott wants his constituents uneducated and free to

infect others with their ignorance. Like most good republican agendas, limiting all education and keeping people dumb and malleable is good for political success.

(And just imagine the funds they will save closing down the library from all the books banned...including the Bible.)

7. Not the way they've proposed but you can challenge science

And as long as you challenge it correctly, test your hypothesis, and report your results so that others may replicate your testing, go for it.

This is merely complaining about what's being taught. True science doesn't care what people think.

8. The real solution is to ban people with science degrees from teaching in Florida

They know too much
