In high school, be sure to check your intellect at the door (along with your guns and knives).

I got a hold of this link by way of Pharyngula, who I've been trying to read less and less of lately because of the fact that reading his accounts of right-wing zealotry, Creationist dishonesty and general fundamentalist Christian insanity is liable to get my blood pressure to critical levels. His anti-religion comments sometimes bother me too, but hey, the poor man's got a right to an opinion, and given his own experiences, he's got a right to be hopping mad. Sometimes, I need to remember that not everyone's been privlidged enough to live in a cosmopolitan city and a cosmopolitan country where diversity and tolerance are (well, for the most part) widely embraced.

Anyway, check out One Good Thing's account of how she got the short end of the Fundamentalist stick back in high school. It's a good counterpoint to David Horowitz's insane ramblings on how conservatives are opppressed in academia that Pharyngula had to suffer through.
