120. Those who don't learn their history are doomed to repeat it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_School_disaster

1927. 38 dead children, and another 7 dead adults. 52 injured.

ENGEL v. VITALE, 370 U.S. 421 (1962)

The bible was still taught in public schools at the time. Took another 35 years for that decision to be handed down.
Robertson doesn't know logic, doesn't know history, doesn't know sociology, doesn't know his asshole from his elbow.

He doesn't even know how our fucking calendar works.

In the mid-1800's, catholics and protestants used to kill each other over issues like, which edition of the bible would be taught in schools.

Yeah, let's bring that back. Genius plan there.
