Education Alert: Evolution is Now a Religion
In Sedalia, MO the band promoted itself with a nifty T-Shirt that showed the evolution of brass instruments. Evidently this offended members of the community, who think evolution is a religion and band is science class. Confusing, I know, but this situation is ripe for the Flying Spaghetti Monster intervention, isn’t it?

3. A teacher at the school
said evolution had no place in the school. A teacher, for Christ's sake. She should be fired immediately.

5. Apparently she embraces creationism
propaganda that the Theory of Evolution has little evidence to support it. It is quite common for those indoctrinated in creationist ideology to believe all sorts of bat shit crazy claims, like there are no transitional fossils.

I agree, she should be removed from a position as she could compromise the education of her students.

2. Everything is a religion to religious nuts
it's something we atheists have to deal with every day.

It's just more background noise from the lesser beings among us, along with calling everything they don't like socialist or Nazi.
