Divine Design Goes Down in Utah
Utah state Sen. Chris Buttars wanted to rein in teachers who were teaching that man descended from apes and rattling the faith of students.
"I don't believe that anybody in there really wants their kids to be taught that their great-grandfather was an ape," Buttars says.
Now the Utah House of Representatives has reined Buttars in. They defeated his divinely inspired "critical analysis" bill by a vote of 28-46 Monday.
What's more shocking, learning your grandfather was an ape, or having your state senator prove it?
