Intelligent Design?

leck mich am arsch *lol*

[Clemenza]

This is odd, as Broward is the most liberal county in the state. Nevertheless, since a large percentage of its student body consists are blacks and immigrants whose parents take care of the Limo Liberal retirees, maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

Needless to say, the schools in Broward County, like those in the rest of Florida, s-ck!

[RogueIsland]

Both have edited passages about evolution theory during the past few years after receiving complaints from the Discovery Institute.

Revising a science text on the basis of anything the Discovery Institute has to say is like revising a pharmacology text based on input from Scientologists.

[GSlob]

Was it the Broward county with butterfly ballots? If yes, then the antillectual level exhibited in 2000 makes it entirely predictable.

Hence FloriDUH

Pinging...looks like FL is jumping on the ID band wagon next. I wonder if this is related to the new pro-creationsist education commissioner recently appointed by Jeb. Scary thing is that this is in the general area where the new Scipps institute is going to be build and heavily subsidized by FL. How hypocritical that the children of the very researchers FL hopes to attract will be taught the opposite of what the parents do for a living. I work in R&D in FL and we have a very hard time attracting talent because the schools here are so terrible. No scientist or engineer want's their kids to go to schools in such an abysmal state, hence, they are very reluctant to relocate here. THis will just further highlight the state as being FLori-duh when it comes to education.

[megatherium]

It's dirty pool to pressure school districts to alter text books for high school children to promote a 'scientific' theory that has almost no support in the scientific community! ID should gain some substantial scientific support before elementary texts are rewritten.

[shuckmaster]

Stupid is as stupid does. Isn't this the county that's infested with liberals who are too dumb to cast a ballot? It make sense that such people would want to teach their children pig-ignorant myths in lieu of science.

[FOG724]

What they need are lessons on how to vote properly.

This just might be my favorite part from the article:

"Students should study Darwin theory not as dogma, but look at it as a theory," he said. "And they should also understand criticisms against it."

Yep, evo is dogma, alright.
