Some parents are idiots

Bah, i can't find the link right now, but I read about a survey last week asking parents who they thought should determine what's taught in school science classes. It was multiple choice:

A) Teachers and scientists
B) School boards
C) Parents

A plurality, 48% of parents, said choice C). Parents should determine what is taught in the science classroom. Sigh. I rephrase this as "48% of parents are complete idiots". What the hell makes these people think they know better than teachers and scientists what should be taught in a freaking SCIENCE class? As Carlos Mencia says, "dee dee dee!" I'm sorry some parents are control freaks who think that no matter what the subject is, "we know what's best for our child!" No, in this case you don't. People who actually study and work in the fields of education and the relevent sciences are going to know far, far better than you what should be part of the curriculum. If you can't understand that, you're being willfully ignorant, or just plain stupid. Though I suspect many of that 48% are parents who want creationism taught in science class and don't like the theory of evolution. Sorry again, but it's science class, not religion class. If you want your kids to have a religion class, send them to sunday school or a private religiously affiliated school. Don't try to change science class.

I wonder when people will start bitching about Einstein's theory of relativity. "But it's only a theory!" Dee dee dee...
