Screaming in horror

What is wrong with Kansas?

Okay: Fine. Be crazy, scary, bible-thumping, flag-waving, psychotic, far-right, overly-religious fundamentalists who see no problem with using government-funded schools to force your ignorant and bigoted religious beliefs upon small children. But: Holy Flying Spaghetti Monster you may NOT rewrite the definition of science!!!!

I love the way this is nestled halfway through the article:

In addition, the board rewrote the definition of science, so that it is no longer limited to the search for natural explanations of phenomena.

They did what? They rewrote the definition of science?!

I can't even process this. My brain shuts down every time. But not before pointing out that we are the only "civilized" nation in which utter shit like this happens.
