Kerns, that is, Sally Kerns, homophobe, anti-intellectual, Oklamhoma State Rep.
Not content with asserting that homosexuality is worse than terrorism, she's found a new way to make sure that Oklahoma is not left behind by Florida and Texas in the race for "America's Next Top Dumbass": New language in Oklahoma House Bill 2633, aka "The Return of the Religious Viewpoints Antidiscrimination Act".
Once again, justifying it with anecdotes:
Kern spoke of an instance when a child was criticized for religion on a school bus, and she said another student got into trouble for the content of a paper. She did not provide specific examples.I mean, I understand that fundies are not down with actual data, hell their entire worldview is based on nigh-anonymous anecdotes and selectively literal interpretations of allegory. But here's the money shot:
A controversial provision in House Bill 2633 states that "students may express their beliefs about religion in homework, artwork, and other written and oral assignments free from discrimination based on the religious content of their submissions."What's that really mean? Well, just like meatcake, we don't know. However, if a kid answers every test on a science exam with "'cause Jesus says so", that language would keep them free from discrimination based on the religious content of that submission.
But the entire thing is religious content. So how does a teacher properly fail the little idiot without "discriminating against the religious content" of the submission? Seems rather difficult.
Of course, if it passes, and it hasn't yet, we all know the test case that will make Ol' Sal' push to repeal the law: Some little smartass is going to say "Our Lord and Saviour Satan did it in between blowjobs". DOH! Hey, Satan worship's a religion, right?
Somehow, I don't think Ol' Sal' will be down wit dat, yaknowwhuti'msayin?
Can we institute a "No Fucking Idiots" requirement for being elected? Please?
