>>but have good schools

Is that why the vast majority of "school decides to teach Creationism in science classes" type stories emerge from flyover country?

Sort by date, then check the states.

Ohio. Mississippi. Kansas. Idaho.

No sir, you do not have good schools compared to the rest of the country.

Texas, Illinois, Ohio, and Michigan account for 9 of the 25 best school districts in America, according to at least one ranking [1]. There are good and bad schools everywhere, and it's up to families to suss them out; living in the middle of the country does not necessarily mean living in an anti-intellectual backwater.

You can't possibly believe your own words. Am I to believe that you think every school in the Midwest teaches creationism? The ignorance and myopia in this thread is staggering.

Sorry, never heard of creationism being taught in schools around here. Although we do have a replica of Lucy in the towns science museum, and I do have a autographed copy of Dawkin's latest book when he came to talk last fall.
