You have the right to remain ignorant

You think nobody could say anything stupider than that stupid thing you heard yesterday, but then...

O'DONNELL: What I will support in Washington, D.C. is the ability for the local school system to decide what is taught in their classrooms and what I was talking about on that show was a classroom that was not allowed to teach creationism as an equal theory as evolution. That is against their constitutional rights and that is an overreaching arm of the government.

Yes, that's Christine O'Donnell answering a question from Wolf Blitzer. States rights and local standards trump the truth! Education is not the process of knowledgeable people passing their hard won knowledge on to the next generation. Education is the process of the majority, in spite of their lack of any special expertise, telling the knowledgeable to teach the next generation what the knowledgeable know is not true!

You know, folks, you can run your school system that way if you want to. Good luck trying to apply anything you learn there in the real world!

And another thing, tea party idiots: the government does the entire population a favor by providing a free (with the exception of taxes) education, and you want to bite the hand on the end of that "overreaching arm"? You are both fools and ingrates.
