That is a ludicrous statement! Some people are asking schools to study MORE about the origin and evolution (small e) of life - to examine the data without evolution tainted glasses and you call them "the forces of ignorance"Yeah right. Just like Marxist professors don't want to teach Communism to their students - they only want to teach them MORE about capitalism (the supposed "problems" of capitalism, from the Communists' perspective). Neo-nazis don't advocate Naziism, they only want people to learn MORE about WWII (the supposed "problems" of the Holocaust story, from the deniers' perspective).How Orwellian of you ...
The IDers have retreated far from their original party line back in the mid '90s, because they keep getting slapped down by the courts whenever they try to push a positive curriculum for ID. But they're still fabian creationists. So now they've been forced to retreat behind a SECOND layer of lies. Pitiful. And strangely reminiscent of the Hollywood Communists, about whom I'm reading now.
Seems you have it backwards - it is the evo's, like the Communists, that want only one theory taught in schools and all opposing views or uncomplimentary evidence are to be banned and/or ridiculed. (Seems you may be from the ridicule wing of your party)

Speaking of incoherent - ramble on!
