Marco Rubio: The Creationist in the Closet

Republican Marco Rubio, the current front runner in Florida’s U.S. Senate race, should come out of the closet – he’s obviously a creationist.

Although it is often considered politically incorrect to ‘out’ someone without his or her permission, in Rubio’s case, I doubt that revealing his irrational beliefs will be much of a shock to anyone. In fact – now that I think about it – referring to Rubio as a creationist probably only serves to reinforce the devotion of his flock. After all, religious fundamentalism has been his political calling card throughout his career.

Prior to 2008, the word ‘evolution’ wasn’t even included in Florida’s science education standards. In 2007, when a much needed revision of the State’s education standards began to lift the veil from the eyes of Florida’s students, Rubio, then Speaker of the House, pleaded for intelligent design to be included in the science curriculum.

Cuban-American Rubio also compared the teaching of evolution to the tactics Fidel Castro’s Communist Party used to undermine families and the church – a means of controlling the masses.

In one interview, Rubio questioned “whether what a parent teaches their children at home should be mocked and derided and undone at the public school level.

“It goes to the fundamental core of who is ultimately, primarily responsible for the upbringing of children,”  Rubio continued. ”Is it your public education system or is it your parents? And for me, personally, I don’t want a school system that teaches kids that what they’re learning at home is wrong.”

Indeed, Mr. Rubio, the purpose of education should be to reinforce previously held beliefs!

If we need any more evidence that the Republican Party is now controlled by anti-science radicals, Marco Rubio is it.
