Astrological Dynamics? Really?

March 4, 2010 by Chad Crawford 1 Comment

I was a bit skeptical when my horoscope said I would find humor in something sad today.

But I had to laugh when I read the South Dakota resolution being emailed around the office this week, as well as sent by Drew, requiring schools to teach:

That there are a variety of climatological, meteorological, astrological, thermological, cosmological, and ecological dynamics that can effect [sic] world weather phenomena and that the significance and interrelativity [sic] of these factors is [sic] largely speculative

I want to mention that today is National Grammar Day.

Some states have been introducing legislation lately requiring “balanced teaching’ on a variety of hot button topics, including evolution and global warming. This article points out the strategy of linking the issues together to  promote ‘academic freedom in general’ and avoid a ruling that the legislation violates the first amendment.

I hope schools respond with sarcasm by offering a course on pseudoscience, and include it all: young earth creationism, astrology, global warming denialism, FSM…

Will there be an advanced course on writing horoscopes?

Sigh. So sad to be a witness to the first reversal in history in the scientific knowledge of the average American.
