Georgia considers banning 'evolution' (http://www.cnn.com/2004/EDUCATION/01/30/striking.evolution.ap/index.html)
Social conservatives who prefer religious creation to be taught instead of evolution criticized the proposal as well.
"If you're teaching the concept without the word, what's the point?" said Rep. Bobby Franklin, a Republican. "It's stupid. It's like teaching gravity without using the word gravity."
...and by extension, what he wants is like not teaching gravity at all. Nice.
Superintendant: "We're dropping the geography requirement."
Principal Skinner: "I agree! Back to the three R's!"
Superintendant: "Two R's, come September."
