This came up today and I realized that I never shared it when I first watched it... I must have been paralyzed with a mixture of horror and disgust.

Maybe a more important thing that should be taught in schools is what the word "theory" means in a scientific context.

What's in Vermont water that makes folks from there more intelligent than the rest?

It's the Canadian border and the overall injustice of having Vermont in the USA

Stupid French and Indians just couldn't hold it together long enough for Canada to draw its border around Vermont.

Anything about how to do science instead of just memorization of facts from a scientific discipline would be nice.

When people say something moronic like "Evolution is just a theory" I just say "Yes, like the theory of gravity" Maybe we should teach the 'controversy' there too?

I believe in evolution because growing up I used to be partial to blondes but as I evolved and especially after watching this video, Alabama, California, Texas, Utah and Washington have my vote.
