President Bush said Monday that he believes schools should discuss “intelligent design” alongside evolution when teaching students about the creation of life.
During a round-table interview with reporters from five Texas newspapers, Bush declined to go into detail about his personal views of the origin of life. However, he said students should learn about each explanation, Knight Ridder Newspapers reported.
“I think that part of education is to expose people to different schools of thought,” Bush said. “You’re asking me whether or not people ought to be exposed to different ideas, the answer is yes,” the president said.
Proponents of intelligent design say life on Earth is too complex to have developed through evolution, implying that a higher power must have had a hand in creation.
Blogger's Note: Intelligent design? More like intelligence declines.

And that quote drives me insane!!!! ok, Georgie, how about teaching how a family with 2 mommies takes their child to the store in kindergarden and how its totally normal. Or that people are suffering because they lost their children in the war, try listening to them. Let kids in the schools hear that they don't have to say the pledge every morning and why that is ok.
