Re: Is Sarah serious...
Even if she did, the VP/President have no say in the matter. Educational curriculum is decided on the state and local level, not the federal, and by school boards, not the heads of teh Executive branch.
Not to mention any attempt to do so would be swiftly struck down by the courts, just as happened in Dover.
This sounds reassuring but, unless I'm mistaken, VPs and Presidents do get involved in Supreme Court judges, and the current Supreme Court setup is apaprently precarious. If it swings the bad way enough, the Disco Institute will try their luck there, no doubt.
