Contrast this group to this group:

I’d even be willing to bet there are SCIENTISTS from Texas found here!

An academic work group proposed that Texas standards for biology courses eliminate the long-held language of teaching students the "strengths and weaknesses" of theories.

The science coalition supports that language change because it says talking of "weaknesses" of evolution allows for religion-based concepts like creationism and intelligent design to enter the instruction. The Texas Freedom Network, an Austin-based group that says it monitors the influence of the religious right, also praises the proposed language change.

Thought control at its finest. Don't teach that there are weaknesses because some kids might question their indoctrination.
