From [here](http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/texassouthwest/stories/DN-evolution_14tex.ART.State.Edition1.298e1cb.html). (bolding mine) > [@](#): > > AUSTIN – The second most powerful member of the Texas House has circulated a Georgia lawmaker’s call for a broad assault on teaching of evolution. > > House Appropriations Committee Chairman Warren Chisum, R-Pampa, used House operations Tuesday to deliver a memo from Georgia state Rep. Ben Bridges. > > The memo assails what it calls “the evolution monopoly in the schools.” > > \*\*Mr. Bridges’ memo claims that teaching evolution amounts to indoctrinating students in an ancient Jewish sect’s beliefs. > > “Indisputable evidence – long hidden but now available to everyone – demonstrates conclusively that so-called ‘secular evolution science’ is the Big Bang, 15-billion-year, alternate ‘creation scenario’ of the Pharisee Religion,”\*\* writes Mr. Bridges, a Republican from Cleveland, Ga. He has argued against teaching of evolution in Georgia schools for several years. How do people like this get to be elected officials? Seriously, however, I’m wondering if this should be taken as a compliment. After all, this “long hidden evidence” proves that Jews knew about biology, evolution and cosmology well before anyone else did. 🙂 Zev Steinhardt ---

Credit for discovering the theory of evolution? OK, I’ll take it! But really, sheesh. (yet another opportunity to have used the Jewish smiley guy) ---

Makes you wonder whether cretins like that really did evolve from our own ancestors, or whether their flavor of God created them to be His likeness on Earth? ---

Well we can’t have our children being taught ancient Jewish Creation scenarios in public school science classes. We better teach them Genesis instead. Egad, how do idiots like this get elected, even in the deep south? Don’t people still at least _pretend_ to be offended by anti-Semitism in Texas and Georgia? This sounds like POZ bullshit. ---

[QUOTE=Antinor01] You’ve already got entertainment and finance, you really have to have science too? Good grief, you Jews just aren’t ever happy are ya? 😉 [/QUOTE] It reminds me of that joke where a Jewish fellow sees his Rabbi reading a particularly vile anti-semitic paper. “What are you reading that trash for, Rabbi?” “Are you kidding? I always read this when I feel down. When I look at history, we are persecuted and oppressed. When I read this we control the banks, the press, the governments…” And now science apparently. ---

[QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic] Egad, how do idiots like this get elected, even in the deep south? [/QUOTE] Like they say, 50% of the world is below average. Too bad they are meddling with politics and education instead of something innocuous. Like whether the end of the toilet paper roll should hang down or come up over the top. Too bad there wasn’t something about that in the Bible. ---
