Roger Clemons insists that neither Creationism nor Evolution Should be Taught in Public Schools

In a wide-ranging interview on CBS’ 60 minutes, former Yankees pitcher Roger Clemons asserted that neither evolution or creationism should be taught in public schools in favor of “Some theory that involves wizards or sorcerers, or magic of some kind…fairies and sorcerers.”

Though touching on topics large and small, his interview was most significant for his views on historical facts that he would choose be taught as quite different from the way people see them now. “I have my own belief about how the world came to be, but I want us to teach make believe fairy stories. Why not the dinosaurs arrived on meteors, lets say.

“I’d also like to see these kids taught that the Little Big Horn thing, the Alamo, and the Civil War happened at the same time, not at different times.”

Clemons discussed provincial matters such as denying he knew former player Jose Canseco, who accused him of using steroids as a player in 2008.

Clemons last came to public attention when giving testimony denying steroid use under oath while trainer Brian MacNamee shot him in the buttocks in front of a congressional panel. Congress later considered issuing an indictment for libel for lying under oath to a Congressional panel, but never pursued the charges for unknown reasons.
