While I performed rather under-whelmingly in my high school science days, I do remember some of my classmates getting all up in arms whenever "evolution" was brought up; it seemed to make our teacher a little irritated too, but I guess I can understand that now. I never took a philosophy or religious studies class so some of the arguments surrounding science and other areas of thought often go over my head. However, the web-based company Teach The Controversy is much more "with it" creatively than I am or was.
I tried to get Sergio to post this one, being a sciencey dude (cough nerd), but alas, he did not bite. Regardless, I think the idea is great. Per the creator's own mission statement:
"Let sarcasm be your weapon in the great evolution vs. creationism debate! You don't have to be an atheist to want to keep science in science class, and sporting one of these graphic tees sarcastically urging schools to teach other pseudosciences, myths, and discredited theories is a fine way to show your pro-science stance. Darwin would be proud!"
The shirts come in a variety of colors and styles, with a standard t-shirt being only $15.99 plus shipping. There are also sweatshirts, tank tops, and messenger bags for all styles. If you're in a science class currently, this might be a good way to get your teacher's attention and maybe some bonus points!
