Yes, and expect a next step to be insertion of fake science and faux-facts into biology, astronomy, and possibly even history text books (Viriginia already does the latter). Expect to see similar materials mandated into state school curricula in Tennessee.
Another generation or 2 and the USA will be a backwater fundamentalist country like Afghanistan. The only bad thing is you already have Nukes to go on your Jihad against atheists, Muslims, and all non jebus believers.

This gets a little more complicated. I also believe that voters ought to be tested on a regular basis on their level of competency. I'm an engineer. My past experiences include but not limited to working as an LEO, micro-biology researcher, computer programmer, and teaching. If I want to be able to vote in certain elections of certain fields, I'd have to pass certain tests pertaining to those fields. Since I know jack shit about geology or economics, I'm pretty sure I'd fail those general knowledge tests pretty badly so I couldn't vote when it comes time to elect officials who will decide the future of geology research or economics decisions. And rightly so, too.
Again, I recognize that there are certain things that are way over my head. I can't possibly begin to tell who's more competent in those areas. Any decision I make regarding who's more competent between 2 candidates is more like a guess, not a decision.
At this point, you're going to cry fascism. This is usually what people do when they hear my proposal.
What I don't understand is we test people for certain levels of competency before we license them to drive but we don't do this when it comes time for owning a gun, having babies, vote, etc. This is why dumbasses continue to live in their dumbass ways and breed at a rate several times more than those of us who actually plan things out.
If utilised correctly this might work, the thing is the tests should be on a high school level so that everybody could study on the topic and pass, and they should include common knowledge or what i like to call how the fuck is it possible that you dont know that.

Re: Say What On Constitution?
Razd & Taz, ole chumps, come, let us reason together.
Razd, you, liberal biased citizen, Big Banger evolutionist, secularistic minded citizen of these United States, would, by law, require each and every citizen in these 50 states to be subjected to what you think in your mindsets.
No just about basic facts and SCIENTIFIC theories.
Our forebears founded this republic on Biblical principles, freedom, including the press etc. Then you & Taz say it's the rest of us who need to read and study the Constitution.
Funny i thought the bible frowned on equality and democracy and really loves their monarchy.
Mmm, perhaps it's because they've actually read what the Constitution & Bill Of Rights says.
Yea something like separation of church and state comes to mind but i guess Arizona do sent care what some silly constitution says because the bible should be thought in schools.
Intelligent? Extreme?
Well an actual fascist extreme position would be to lock up the unevolved creationists and other brainwashed people in some concetration camps.
".........we should make.."? You & Razd should have power to subject us all to what you think? To require every citizen who would be a candidate to watch this video and pass a test on it?
Would it not be fun to have a republican that can form a coherent sentence for a change?
Yes. One fell swoop law to negate the Constitution.
Well no anyone can study up on a subject and pass a silly test it would not make anyone less equal then the other, it would just force people to pull their nose away from the bible and study up on some basic fats.
No, me friends, what we need is to educate the kiddies in our schools on the Constitution, as it was, since this nation's founding , until the progressives moved in.
Yea you really should do that too because
stuff like this is embarrassing

Re: Say What On Constitution?
Most Americans, including all creationists and many secularists do not ascribe to some basic alleged facts and scientific theories.
Yea that is why the whole world is laughing at America every day.
