These people consider evolution to be the work of witches -- of devil-worshippers. This is why they are anti-education: because education is really a plot to subvert the true religion. This is why they seek to strangle education by denying it funding; this is the reason for the constant pressure to get prayer into public schools. This is the reason they desire to switch American education over to a voucher system, where the government will subsidize schools that teach kids that evolutionary theory is the devil's work and that their job is to infiltrate the U.S. government.
