can't make this stuff up



actual quote from a parent in sedalia, missouri, who also happens to be a teacher in the district:

"I don’t think evolution should be associated with our school.”

the marching band had designed and worn shirts with the slogan "brass evolution" and used a version of this well-known image, but at each stage he is holding an instrument. all those well-versed in "intelligent design" went nuts and the school is banning the shirts. the assistant superintendent of schools defended the action because they must "remain neutral on religion."

a donor had offered to pay half the cost of the shirts, but withdrew support upon seeing the risqué and controversial image. the band parents now have to eat the $700 and pony up again for new shirts.

"it’s not like we are saying god is bad,” sophomore band member denyel luke said. “we aren’t promoting evolution." no, heaven forbid science is taken as true when the mystery and power of god is so much more verifiable and likely.

now let's hope they burn the offensive tees in the town square to ward off the devil who no doubt was licking his lips and twitching his forked tail at the thought of the the town collapsing into a monkey-fucking haven of sodom and gomorrah.
