"Intelligent Design Theory" Endorsed by Village Idiot

Bush is yet again proving that he's not so bright. Yea I know its so cliché for us liberals to say that, but come on! Check this out:

President Bush invigorated proponents of teaching alternatives to evolution in public schools with remarks saying that schoolchildren should be taught about "intelligent design," a view of creation that challenges established scientific thinking and promotes the idea that an unseen force is behind the development of humanity.

"Both sides ought to be properly taught . . . so people can understand what the debate is about," he said, according to an official transcript of the session. Bush added: "Part of education is to expose people to different schools of thought. . . . You're asking me whether or not people ought to be exposed to different ideas, and the answer is yes."

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought school was meant to teach students the truth; things grounded in fact like math, science, history, and literature. There is always room for "creationism" in your mythology class or by your kid-touching priest.

Noting Bush's Ivy League education, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), said, "People might cite George Bush as proof that you can be totally impervious to the effects of Harvard and Yale education." (In case your wondering, he graduated with a 2.35 GPA)

Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State said the president, by suggesting that students hear two viewpoints, "doesn't understand that one is a religious viewpoint and one is a scientific viewpoint" and that Bush showed a "low level of understanding of science."
