So, a Georgia state legislator, in a memo circulated around not only his legislature but those of Texas, California, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Ohio, is arguing that evolution can't be taught in schools because it's religion and thus prohibited under the First Amendment. And not just any religion, mind you, but the product of the "Pharisee Religion" and mystic writings in the Kabbala. These "Kabbalists" have also apparently fooled Americans into thinking that the earth goes around the sun and _rotates._

It's anti-Semitism and creationism all rolled into one, really a neat trick.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why we need to teach our students - and apparently our representatives - how to conduct research and evaluate sources properly, and why librarians of all sorts are such helpful and useful people.
