Sell crazy someplace else,...

we're all full up here. A Blaine, Washington resident has filed paperwork for a citizen's initiative with the Secretary of State that would prohibit:
"state use of public money or lands for anything that denies or attempts to refute the existence of a supreme ruler of the universe, including textbooks, instruction or research"
The italicized emphasis is mine. Here's the full text of Initiative Measure 1040.

You can't make this stuff up.

  1. "We the people of the state of Washington, grateful to the Supreme Ruler of the universe, do ordain this constitution"... Really?

    I was hoping you were making that up, but I read the citizen's initiative. We need to introduce more science based curriculum into schools earlier (and stop letting parents home school their kids.)

    Hooray for seperation of church and state!
