Kentucky lawmakers shocked to find evolution in biology tests State wants KY-specific ACTs; a politician says of evolution: "Darwin made it up."
From arstechnica.com by John Timmer - Aug 16 2012
"A report surfaced this week that suggests Kentucky legislators may be experiencing a sort of cognitive dissonance that is likely to be a preview of things we can expect elsewhere. After dictating that schools in the state include tests based on national standards, the state lawmakers were shocked to find that evolution made a prominent appearance on the science tests. Considering that the same legislative body was considering undercutting evolution less than two years ago, this may have come as a bit of a surprise."
They're ignorant and proud of it!
