At an anti-tax "Tea Party" protest, a protester calls for burning all

Man: "I don't think you were serious about that, were you?"

Woman: "I am too."

Man: "Burn all the books?!"

Woman: "The ones in college, those, those brainwashing books."

Man: "Which ones are those?"

Woman: "Like, the evolution crap, and, yeah..."

Like so?

I am vaguely aware that the Nazis did not like _The Origin of Species_,
especially the idea of common descent. But can anyone point me to
references to them banning or burning books about evolution, or forbidding
the teaching of it? Those would be handy in some of these arguements.

6. Schriften weltanschaulichen und lebenskundlichen Charakters, deren
Inhalt die falsche naturwissenschaftliche Aufklärung eines primitiven

6. Writings of a philosophical and social nature whose content deals
with the false scientific enlightenment of primitive Darwinism and
Monism (Häckel).

From

So from this, only creationist imbeciles & liars from AIG and ID,
conclude that the nazis were influenced by "Darwinismus", which they
(nazis) referred to as "false scientific enlightenment" and"
primitive", and blacklisted from the libraries.

Interestingly, the ADL has taken the position that because Creationism
and Intelligent design are religious beliefs, and the government is
prohibited from endorsing the beliefs of any particular religion, they
should not be taught in science classrooms.
