Hmmm. The National Center for Science Education. Aren't these the same people who call an "Academic Freedom Act" an "Antievolution Bill?" They might need some help with nomenclature. Can't even get their labels right. Methinks they are more interested in politicizing science than defending it. Just like yourself.
The National Center for Science Education ... Methinks they are more interested in politicizing science than defending it. Politicizing???
Perhaps you have them confused with the Discovery Institute.
What has this august group discovered? Cure for cancer, the 11th planet, a new quark? New antibiotics?
What percentage of their budget goes into research, as opposed to, say...public relations?
So, tell me about "politicizing [and trashing] science."
