A Tennessee man named Kurt Zimmerman is demanding that a book be banned for accurately describing the Genesis creation story as mythology:

As shocking as such an idea is in the twenty-first century, it upholds centuries of Christian tradition. It is, after all, much easier to censor an idea then respond to it. Fortunately, reason prevails at the school board.
What's really ludicrous about this one is the comment section. Saying that God created the world in seven days instead of six invalidates the whole textbook, really? Must be nice to find something to justify not actually reading the thing before you criticize it.
