The South Dakota House of Representatives passed a resolution urging that instruction in the public schools be balanced between global warming advocates and skeptics. There is nothing shocking about that.
The shocking development in HRC 1009 is what the bill urges global warming instruction in the public schools should include:
Astrology: “the divination of the supposed influences of the stars and planets on human affairs and terrestrial events by their positions and aspects.”
Cosmology: “a branch of
metaphysics that deals with the nature of the universe” or “a theory or doctrine describing the natural order of the universe” or “a branch of astronomy that deals with the origin, structure, and space-time relationships of the universe.”
Metaphysics is a branch of
philosophy that investigates principles of reality transcending those of any particular science.
Thermology is a medical imaging technique in which an infrared camera is used to generate an image of the body or an area of interest. This technique is noninvasive, and requires no physical contact with the patient. It can be used as a diagnostic tool for a range of medical conditions and can be performed in a hospital, clinic, or doctor's office, as long as the facility has the necessary equipment.
How cool is that?

My sister-in-law is in the SD Senate. I was relieved when she told me that she voted against the bill...
I guess this is what happens when a bunch of politicians that don't know shite about science, let alone the english language get involved.
