It’s OK to criticize teaching evolution

In response to “Watson: Bill not an attack on evolution,” I’d like to add my two cents worth.

No 1: What is wrong with attacking evolution? In 1925, Tennessee lawmakers had enough sense not to believe a lie. Instead, people rather feared God than man and knew God would not bless a godless education system.

Interesting enough, since the introduction of “evolution … the most scientific process,” our school systems can’t outperform students from “around the world.”

What critics fear most is without the teaching of evolution you have no basis for the doctrine of environmentalism. Thus with no evolution, no environmentalism, we lose a large part of our bogus and mandated economy, AKA jobs.
