Business vs. religion
Governing Magazine and the NY Times report that half of all states are failing to teach students basic science, leaving millions of children behind their counterparts in India, Japan, China, Germany and the rest of the emerging global market. A separate report gave Colorado's neighbor to the east an unprecedented F minus for the idiocy the religious wingnut school boards there displayed on election day 2005. Business and religion are two favorite topics of the Republican party. When are they going to figure out that teaching religion in science class significantly undermines the United States' ability to compete globally?

I don't think the Republican corporate elite cares about producing scientists to compete globally. They can always hire Indian scientists cheaper and the the best thing they have going for them is an ignorant electorate who actually believe the that the party that serves the top .01% of the citizenry to the detriment of everybody who who makes their money through pay checks, rather than capital investments, is on their side. If they are going to screw 99.99% of us, it helps to keep as as stupid as possible. Otherwise, we might notice.
