De-Evolution

While Kansas was busy Wednesday deleting the teaching of evolution from the state's science curriculum, schools in rural eastern Kentucky began posting the Ten Commandments in every classroom to begin countering what some local ministers described as the nation's "moral decline." The plaques, paid for and installed by volunteers, went up with virtually no opposition. One school superintendent defended the decision as an antidote to "all the violent issues that have been showing up." Odd, then, that the idea of gun control hasn't really caught on the Bluegrass State.
