Perry: See, this hair doesn't just happen!​How does one explain the follicle-by-follicle perfection of Gov. Rick Perry's imperturbable man-mane? Where does his mega-watt smile and its rows of pearly whites come from? Braces? No, silly. They come from God. God spoke, and Perry was born a man of uncommon comeliness. That, Friends of Unfair Park, is Creationism. But contrary to what Perry is saying on the campaign trail, it isn't taught in Texas public schools. At a New Hampshire campaign stop Thursday morning, a boy ushered to the front by his mother asked Perry if he believed in evolution. "It's a theory that's out there," Perry said, according to a CNN report. "It's got some gaps in it. In Texas we teach both Creationism and evolution." Ok, so there are "gaps." Humans and chimpanzees have more in common with each other, genetically, than either does with gorillas. Whatever that means. We can debate that. But not this, Elected Official With Whom The Buck Stops In Our Public School System. We do not teach Creationism.
