Apparently, the Kansas Board of Education has banned all Pokémon games, trading cards, and other merchandise from schools. Many religious groups were protesting allowing the games in school since, as we all know, Pokémon seems to support the concept of evolution. Religious parents and leaders are demanding that schools confiscate any Pokémon games or cards found with students. Apparently, these same groups have organized protests involving burning games and cards.
Seriously, now. I follow some religious beliefs like I’m sure many of you do. But this is insane. I don’t mean to offend anyone’s religion, but evolution happened. We may still be figuring out the exact details behind evolution, but it happened. Look at the evidence. Regardless, Pokémon doesn’t demonstrate the theory of evolution as it is in real life anyway. These religious parents are offering programs to “rescue” them from their Pokémon addictions and working to make them Pokémon-free for the rest of their lives. If you ask me, the kids aren’t the ones with an obsessive problem.
