wow. I'm going to have to finish reading it later. I just like that the guy from the Discovery Institute was "literally" glued to his computer for two days. wouldn't that have made things like eating and sleeping difficult?

I don't know if I can take it. My throat's a bit too scratchy to be screaming right now.

An article on CNN.com on the teaching of evolution around the US.
Quote:
<snip>
Marroquin's challenge in teaching Darwinian theory reflects a re-emerging issue in public education. In local communities and state legislatures, evolution is being contested anew, prompting rebukes from scholars who fear politics and religion are eroding established science.

It looks like Kansas might not even have a school year at all--funding battles are threatening.

I figured this would happen. Let them have their stickers--otherwise they cinch up purse strings and things get worse.

That gets me to thinking. Mike Shermer is a skeptic--but also a libertarian--so would he be for vouchers--or against?

Talk about believing in two mutually exclusive things...
