Mike Fair Spaghetti Monster Supporter

South Carolina Senator Mike Fair is making progress on helping to educate the world to the glory of The Flying Spaghetti Monster



But seriously look a the semantics and this guy is pretty easy to tear apart.
expose students to the "full range of scientific views that exist" on biological evolution.
It is the practice of the American Family Ass. to put things they don't agree with in quotes. They are basically saying that they don't believe in them.

Fair says his bill would not prevent teachers from discussing evolution, but would require them to present other theories such as intelligent design, which says that life is too complex to have evolved by accident.
This means that teachers could still discuss evolution, but they will have have to discuss other theories, (note the lack of the word scientific) regardless this means that the Spaghetti Monster Theory would be required, to be taught in class, praise to the pirates. Luckily it also doesn't mention how it should be taught so a science teacher would be free to say "I'm going to now, comply with the law and discuss Ignorant Design and let you know that it is not based in science but is instead a story just like Santa Claus and while like Harry Potter, may be interesting to read, is a work of fiction."

Fair believes what students learn in public school science classes should not undermine what they are taught at home or at church.
So if children are taught at home that fire won't burn you and that kicking people makes them taller, this should not be undermined in school?

Fair says. "The biblical worldview, the one that I embrace, is that our Creator God spoke things into existence, and that same creator God demonstrated His love for me by sending His only son, Jesus, to die on the cross. And what a wonderful message that is."
Fair then goes on to support a world view that isn't even inline with Ignorant Design, he instead says that things were "spoke in to existence" Harry Potter style.

sigh.
