What the fuck is the great state of Illinois doing to be color red?! Kansas has a better rating! I went to a private Catholic school and evolution was taught.

Indiana's green? They way hannah makes it seem, they're all fundies there.

It should be reverse. Illinois should be green and Indiana should be red.

I question the validity of this map.

Illinois has plenty of Muslims.

Which explains nothing other than your racist paranoia.

So can you point out something in that article that says Muslims are responsible for Illinois lack of scientific education?

Oh Lord, here we go again...... :(

Well maybe BEAJ shouldn't make stupid comments that are irrelevant to the topic. I could have easily said that the map is invalid because of the many Jews who live in Chicago, but, of course, I am not racist like BEAJ.

It looks like the map is referring to the state standards (not local ones), mind you, not the way evolution is actually being (or not being) taught in the classroom.


By the way, that's a great blog -- going on the list.

Why am I being racist? Muslims don't believe in evolution. If they are products of the Illinois education system and still don't believe in evolution, it means Illinois teachers are lacking.
