That's publicized in other forums around here too. It's a truly beautiful piece of satire, and the 2 responses that I saw from the school board indicate that not all of them are morons. The only sore point that I have in the battle against Creationists is that if 'survival of the fittest' applied as well as it should, they wouldn't exist.
