Re: Public Education and the Law
quote:
Taking evolution out of the biology curriculum against the recommendations of professional organizations and universities would be insane. Remember, science is what scientists do. Science is not what politicians or special interest groups want it to do.
Unfortunately, many people, most of which are parents of the very school children attending the public school system, still believe that science should be a democracy. I remember reading an article a while back about a student suing a biology professor, I think somewhere in Florida, accusing him of being fascist about the class material. That made me wonder why some people attend college at all if they did not expect to learn something they hadn't known before, or why they signed up for a class about a subject they didn't want to learn.
How far do you think the ID crowd will be able to push before the general public realizes all the B.S. behind their movement?
