Watch Miss USA Hopefuls Awkwardly Dance Around The Evolution Issue

During their pre-pageant questioning, each of the potential Miss USAs were asked a simple question: “Should evolution be taught in schools?” Here are their trimmed-down, wishy washy answers.

This year’s winner, Miss Califorina’s Alyssa Campanella, believes in evolution (she also said she was a big history geek). But sadly, the vast majority of the girls don’t believe in evolution at all, and many don’t think it should be taught in schools. Others refused to give a real answer to the question, and while others still took the opportunity to talk about how they think religion should be taught in school — we’re looking at you, Miss Maine, Miss North Carolina, Miss Alaska, Miss Georgia… oh fuck it, we lost count.
