excerpt:
Congresswoman Martha Roby (R-Ala.) is sponsoring HR 205, The Geometric Simplification Act, declaring the Euclidean mathematical constant of pi to be precisely 3. The bill comes in response to data and rankings from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, rating the United States' 15 year-olds 25th in the world in mathematics...."this legislation will point us in the right direction. Looking at hard data, we know our children are struggling with a heck of a lot of the math, including the geometry incorporating pi," Roby said. "I guarantee you American scores will go up once pi is 3. It will be so much easier."
have you seen this? It's actually a very funny parody. At first it was a bit believable. Then i had to wonder why. Is it b/c of the conservative bias to anti-intellectualism? Is there a bias? seems to me there is. Is it b/c if they can't win by the rules, they look for a way to bend them? Or is that just a human condition?
