Of Huckabirds and Huckabees ...

Every parent/teacher has to get to a point in life when they have to teach their kids about the birds and bees ... that's why we send kids to school where they get taught facts right ?
Not in Arkansas .. uh-huh

Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, yeah the one who famously lost so much weight he could be on the "Biggest Loser". He visited with the school students in his state in a TV show of his called Arkansans Ask, where an intrepid kid challenged him that Arkansas schools are not teaching evolution, here goes,


Student: Many schools in Arkansas are failing to teach students about evolution according to the educational standards of our state. Since it is against these standards to teach creationism, how would you go about helping our state educate students more sufficiently for this?

Huckabee: Are you saying some students are not getting exposure to the various theories of creation?

Student (stunned): No, of evol … well, of evolution specifically. It’s a biological study that should be educated [taught], but is generally not.

Moderator: Schools are dodging Darwinism? Is that what you …?

Student: Yes.

Huckabee: I’m not familiar that they’re dodging it. Maybe they are. But I think schools also ought to be fair to all views. Because, frankly, Darwinism is not an established scientific fact. It is a theory of evolution, that’s why it’s called the theory of evolution. And I think that what I’d be concerned with is that it should be taught as one of the views that’s held by people. But it’s not the only view that’s held. And any time you teach one thing as that it’s the only thing, then I think that has a real problem to it.

Now, clearly Huckabee is the biggest loser for reasons other than stated above. This man is thinking of running for the Prez in '08. Yeah, the talibanization of this great country continues ...
