"It doesn't pay to say too much when you are mad enough to choke. For the word that stings the deepest is the word that is never spoke, Let the other fellow wrangle till the storm has blown away, then he'...ll do a heap of thinking about the things you didn't say." (James Whitcomb Riley)

This is why so many people roll their eyes behind the backs of so-called "born again" Christians when start opening their yaps when they impose themselves on others as "holier than thou" and start to impose their view of the world on everybody as though they have "the truth."

"Evolution" has NOTHING to do with religion.

Man, this is irritating...

School yanks T-shirts over evolution theme

SEDALIA, Mo. — T-shirts promoting the Smith-Cotton High School band's fall
program have been recalled because of concerns about the shirt's evolution
theme.

Assistant Superintendent Brad Pollitt said parents complained to him after the
band marched in the Missouri State Fair parade. Though the shirts don't violate
the school's dress code, Pollitt noted that the district is required by law to
remain neutral on religion.

The light gray shirts feature an image of a monkey progressing through various
stages of evolution until eventually becoming a human. Each figure holds a
brass instrument that also evolves, illustrating the theme "Brass Evolutions."

"I was disappointed with the image on the shirt," said Sherry Melby, a band
parent who teaches in the district. "I don't think evolution should be
associated with our school."

But other parents were just as dismayed that the shirts were taken away from
students at the Sedalia school.

Sophomore band member Denyel Luke said the reaction by some to the evolution
theme was a little extreme.

"It's not like we are saying God is bad," Luke said. "We aren't promoting
evolution."

The district will have to absorb the $700 cost of the shirts, which will be
replaced as soon as administrators approve a design for the new ones.
