It’s 13,000 signatures to get a response from the whitehouse, not to actually ban anything.
The response was always guaranteed to be “fuck off”. Creationism is already not part of any official state curriculum, and the government can’t tell private schools what to teach.
The government can’t do shit about it.
Haha, the top comment from back then said exactly the same thing:
I hate to break it to you, but this petition won’t actually do what you’re hoping.
Time is a flat circle, I guess. I mean, that or liberals just never learn. Protests and petitions just don’t work the way you learn in school, sadly.
