Apparently Palin really does have a record of reform. When it comes to evangelical Christian issues, she’s an enthusiastic proponent of sweeping change. Like a true reformer, she encourages schools not to be “afraid of information” with respect to teaching creationism (but conveniently changes her tune when it comes to sex ed and books containing “offensive” material). 

For the last time, people: religion and public services, especially education, do not mix. Nothing inspires more anger in my rabidly liberal heart than a refusal to keep the two separate, a refusal that ends up manifesting itself in so many insidious ways.

Then again, maybe I have no reason to be worried about Palin’s religious extremism, since the McCain campaign is pulling her strings. They won’t even let her write her own acceptance speech, so maybe her polarizing views won’t make it past the Republican censorial squad. One can only hope.
