Well OK he didn’t actually say that. He actually said:
I think today a pluralistic society should have access to a broad range of fact, of science, including faith
He believes in a pluralistic society. Pluralism is:
The belief that no single explanatory system or view of reality can account for all the phenomena of life.
Get that? No single explanation can explain life. So all creation myths should be taught. OK, here’s a list to be getting on with. I don’t actually see the Flying Spaghetti Monster listed, but I presume that is merely an oversight. I also don’t see Scientology’s Xenu (that’s the souls of aliens killed by Xenu, the ruler of the universe) listed – presumably Frist believes that should be taught too.
Those kids are going to be busy with all those stories to learn.
Ramen, brotha!
(Okay, I'm not a pastafarian. At least not yet.)
