TYT: Anti-Evolution 'Monkey Bill' In Tennessee

[ihavenobias]

Via Think Progress: "Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam (R) announced yesterday that he will "probably" sign a bill that attacks the teaching of "biological evolution, the chemical origins of life, global warming, and human cloning" by giving broad new legal immunities to teachers who question evolution and other widely accepted scientific theories...".* Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss on The Young Turks.

1. What's wrong with teaching both sides?

Of the Apollo missions.
Of the Holocaust.
Of Bigfoot.
Of climate change.
That slavery had nothing to do with the civil war.
And of course, evolution.

During the the last twenty years, I have run into more and more adults that don't know the difference between opinion and fact. This creationism BS is at the crux of it.

The Hindus used to believe that the earth was held up by seven elephants. When proof came that that was not the case, they adjusted their beliefs. Without crying about it for years and trying to force the elephants into astronomy classes.

2. Consistency from right wingers? Come on.

They only care about teaching both sides of things when they have issues with the truth. Sure this could be the precedent that allows Holocaust deniers to start teaching history (climate deniers already teaching science in some parts of Dumbfuckistan) but it won't ever happen since it would interfere with their worldview that Obama = Hitler.

3. Tenn: A case study disproving evolution? Think about it...

At last, Somalia has someone to laugh at....
