I don't dispute that Nazis dictated content. It's just not happening here, and irrelevant to this discussion (which is why I called your parallel vaccuous and bogus....it IS).
The only thing that the President came out in favor of was academic freedom in science classrooms.
That's what's presently missing by teaching evolutionary theory as fact, and nor presenting any opposing scientific study.
nor = not
I dispute that -- see I don't dispute that Nazis dictated content. It's just not happening here, and irrelevant to this discussion (which is why I called your parallel vaccuous and bogus....it IS).
Again, my comments were not directed at the president, as I'm not aware of any initiative on his part to dictate the content of science curricula by political fiat. (I won't hesitate to criticism on that specific ground if he does so.) However I AM aware of numerous efforts, both currently and in the past, by advocates of ID or creationism to do so.
No, they aren't doing so through the mechanism of a totalitarian state, obviously, but there is clearly a sensible comparison IMHO.
If I'm wrong then why won't creationists and ID'ers content themselves with battling this out in the relevant fields of professional science? If they succeed there then their ideas will be incorporated into science curricula as a matter of course and there won't be any need for the political fights and popular controversy they are currently heavily engaged in.
We, instead, to they repeatedly target curricula?
