Teaching science - update
Some sense in Pennsylvania (in contrast to Kansas) - "A Decisive Election in a Town Roiled Over Intelligent Design":
On Tuesday, the residents of Dover ousted all eight school board members running for re-election who had put their town in a global spotlight and their school district on trial for being the first in the nation to introduce intelligent design as an alternative to evolution in science class. In swept the full Dover Cares slate of eight candidates, which had coalesced to oppose the change in the science curriculum.
And please note that this is not an anti-religion issue. As the Rev. Warren Eshbach, "a spokesman who campaigned for the slate of new School Board members, said the new board supports discussing intelligent design in a social studies elective or theology class."
I agree - teach it in your theology classes, but don't teach it as science.
