Anyone who thinks this is good legislation not intended simply to offer an opening for the DI's infamous wedge is monumentally naive.
Exactly! Adding a bit to what you said, it's an opening for teachers sympathetic to creationism to tell students that there's a controversy within science about evolution.

Let's face it. Most people out there are dumbasses. And FYI, I am also a dumbass. The difference between me and most people out there is I recognize it. Most people just go about their daily lives completely oblivious to the bigger world around them.
Reminds me of the movie Amadeus. At one point Salieri kneels on the floor and asks God why He tortures him by giving him alone the ability to perceive Mozart's genius while denying him the genius itself.

What about tests for the politicians to pass before they can be a candidate?
Desiring the office should be grounds for disqualification. Elected officials should have to be dragged kicking and screaming into office.
