Kentucky lawmakers aren't doing much to assuage their state's hill-billy stereotype. A 2009 bill pushed by state republicans was intended to link Kentucky's education system with national standards. As such, the state utilizes ACT to administer national tests to equate their students with those across the rest of the country. To their chagrin, they've recently been 'surprised' to discover evolution is a major science component - not creationism. Senator David Givens says:

I think we are very committed to being able to take Kentucky students and put them on a report card beside students across the nation. We're simply saying to the ACT people we don't want what is a theory to be taught as a fact in such a way it may damage students' ability to do critical thinking.

Representative Ben Waide adds:

The theory of evolution is a theory, and essentially the theory of evolution is not science — Darwin made it up. My objection is they should ensure whatever scientific material is being put forth as a standard should at least stand up to scientific method. Under the most rudimentary, basic scientific examination, the theory of evolution has never stood up to scientific scrutiny.

You just can't make this shit up.
