Studied Ignorance

Paul Krugman has a point in his editorial today in the New York Times labeling the GOP's "Ignorance Caucus".    On my tangent of Separation of Church and State for example I find purposeful insistence by the Evangelical right to promote creationist theory in the classroom to be the equivalent of dulling the brain of their adherent's children with a shot of whiskey every day. It kills the natural inquisitiveness of children on how things work when every answer is God's will, or Inshallah in Islam.  I doubt a doctor could be a doctor without understanding evolutionary theory and I resent Christian Authoritarians as much as Islamic ones who would take us back to the middle ages.
