I’m guessing this high-school is a feeder for Regent U:
T-shirts worn by the Smith-Cotton High School band have evolved into controversy among parents.
The shirts, which were designed to promote the band’s fall program, are light gray and feature an image of a monkey progressing through stages and eventually emerging as a man. Each figure holds a brass instrument. Several instruments decorate the background and the words “Smith-Cotton High School Tiger Pride Marching Band” and “Brass Evolutions 2009” are emblazoned above and below the image.
[….]“I was disappointed with the image on the shirt.” Melby said. “I don’t think evolution should be associated with our school.”
I find it increasingly difficult to believe we will maintain first-world status for much longer.

It’s just a matter of time
Right now, it’s still okay for journalists to make fun of Glenn Beck. But if he keeps his ratings up for much longer, it won’t be. BriWi will be calling into his show and saying that Beck has actually yet to get the credit he is due, comedians will be censured for making fun of him, Republican office-holders will have to apologize to him regularly, Mark Halperin will appear on his show (whoops, that already happened), Joe Klein will start comparing him to Glenn Greenwald.
It’s just a matter of time.
