GREAT QUOTES IN POLITICAL HISTORY: Fine Minds of the 13th Century Edition

Teach both. You know, don't be afraid of information....Healthy debate is so important and it's so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both. And you know, I say this too as the daughter of a science teacher. Growing up with being so privileged and blessed to be given a lot of information on, on both sides of the subject -- creationism and evolution. It's been a healthy foundation for me. But don't be afraid of information and let kids debate both sides.

— Sarah Palin, on teaching creationism in public schools; Anchorage Daily News; October 27, 2006

Also, I want to know what schools encourage eight year-olds to talk about fairy tales in science class.
Woo, Alaska!
