Turning Off the Lights : Battle on Teaching Evolution Sharpens

Yahoo! News - Battle on Teaching Evolution Sharpens

Sometimes I despair of our ever getting back to a place in America where I believe bullshit will be recognized as bullshit. We hate "the academy," think that the poor, minorities, labor, differently-abled, women, etc., are "special interests" (but corporations and the wealthy aren't), and don't like the idea that "we came from monkeys."

We belive lies our leaders tell us, even months after the lies are brought to light. Well, America, if some of you get your way, all of our children will be amongst a very small minority in the world of kids educated by people who eschew science in favor of religious myths.

Thanks.
