Yep, I read the whole thing...
What thing was it that you read? The webpage at the
Texas Citizens for Science (TCS)? If that's what you're criticizing then I think you're aiming at the wrong target. Don't you want to read something by, oh, I don't know, ICR or the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB)? It isn't TCS's analysis that we're debating here.
Perhaps you could look at the
ICR petition. Or perhaps Dr. Paredes assessment, which begins in the middle of this document:
Commissioner’s Recommendation on the Request by the Institute for Creation Research for a Certificate of Authority to Offer a Master of Science Degree in Science Education.
You're criticizing the process because you disagree with the decision, but the fact of the matter is that what ICR wants to teach in Texas bears no resemblance to what accredited science programs in that state teach. To grant them accreditation would be tantamount to saying that ICR is providing an adequate science program when they're not. Graduates of an accredited science program have a right to expect that prospective employers won't guffaw at their degree.
