The Kentucky Board of Education adopted the standards in June and held hearings to get public feedback on the standards last week before they were presented to the state legislature for official approval.
Matt Singleton, a Baptist minister, is one of the opponents who spoke to the board about why the standards should not be adopted, according to The Courier-Journal. “Outsiders are telling public school families that we must follow the rich man’s elitist religion of evolution, that we no longer have what the Kentucky Constitution says is the right to worship almighty God,” Singleton said. “Instead, this fascist method teaches that our children are the property of the state.”
Did you ever watched The Duggar's show? One time they went to that creationist museum, you know, the one that has a diorama of a dinosaur with a saddle on it's back? Yeah, that one. So, they loaded up their chattel & drove on out there. At one point, ole Billy Bob was talking to the camera about evolution (he's such an expert) & claimed, and I quote, that evolution "is not scientific". I have a real good idea that he has no idea what scientific means.
"Kentucky" said no such thing. According to your post, "The Kentucky Board of Education adopted the standards in June and held hearings to get public feedback on the standards last week before they were presented to the state legislature for official approval." They have heard dissent from some people.

Certainly, the poor mans' ignorance and superstition should be followed, instead. Way to go!
