I hate to say something so callous, but maybe when you choose to send your kid to school in state that ranks 49th out of 50, you deserve exactly what you get.

I feel the same way about teaching creationism as astrophysics and biology, and all the other ultra-right-wing assaults on science and truth more generally.
