Okay so it was Jeb Bush, but still the "logic???" expressed was pure gold! There ought to some sort of "idiot test" that people should have to pass before they can run for office.
Miami Herald
In an article in today's Miami Herald entitled "Bush: Science comes before intelligent design" the following gems came out of ole Jeb's mouth.
Questioned about the national debate over ''intelligent design,'' Gov. Jeb Bush last week said he's more interested in seeing some evolution of the science standards that Florida public school students must meet.
He wants those standards to become more rigorous -- and raising the standards should take priority over discussing whether intelligent design has a place in the public schools' curriculum, he said.
``The more important point is science itself and how important it is, and we right now have adequate standards that may need to be raised. But worse: Students are not given the course work necessary to do well with those standards.''
Here is the Classic Line!!!!
The Watchdog Report asked a follow-up question:
Does the governor believe in Darwin's theory of evolution?
Bush said: ``Yeah, but I don't think it should actually be part of the curriculum, to be honest with you. And people have different points of view and they can be discussed at school, but it does not need to be in the curriculum.''
So there we have it. An admission that ole Jeb believes in evolution, but he feels it should not be part of the science curriculum, the same science curriculum that he is trying to strengthen.
Love it!
OOOUUUCH MY HEAD HURTS.
