Comment un américain qui réfère aussi souvent aux "pères fondateurs" de la nation peut-il se permettre une telle déclaration? Un autre qui aurait besoin d'un petit cours d'histoire pour se rafraîchir la mémoire... Séparation de l'église et de l'état par des penseurs influencés par la philosophie de "Lumières". Étrange d'oublier ainsi tout le contexte de la naissance du pays...
"Rick Santorum is known for his insistence that religion has an important place in political life — and also for criticizing various examples of scientific consensus such as evolution, global warming, stem-cell research, human sexuality, and other matters. But in his latest pronouncement, he might have just outdone himself.
The Des Moines Register reports from a Santorum campaign stop at the University of Northern Iowa, where he talked about education:
Discussing controversial classroom subjects such as evolution and global warming, Santorum said he has suggested that “science should get out of politics” and he is opposed to teaching that provides a “politically correct perspective.”
It’s hard not to think here of The Simpsons, and a line from their famous educational expert, Superintendent Chalmers: “‘Thank the Lord’? That sounded like a prayer. A prayer. A prayer in a public school! God has no place within these walls, just like facts have no place within organized religion!”"
