...In Texas, Gov. Rick Perry, who is running for re-election, said he supports intelligent design and thinks it should be taught in public school science class. ...

Is this true? I thought he was waffling.

I haven't read up on it yet. I guess I should.

...In Texas, Gov. Rick Perry, who is running for re-election, said he supports intelligent design and thinks it should be taught in public school science class. ...

Is this true? I thought he was waffling.

As of last month, Perry was still supporting it. Most of his opponents don't.
Even the independent nutjob, Kinky Friedman, says : "I'm agin it; there's nothing intelligent about it."

Not that it matters much. The Governor in Texas is a weak office, both the House & Senate killed two 'Teach the Controversy' bills last session.
The State Board of Education, who has to approve the textbooks, has a solid 11-4 majority. And two of those minority board members are catching flack for trying to intimidate book publishers to weaken the text on evolution.

Perry stands a pretty good chance of getting re-elected, but I don't think it'll change much of anything. (IMO)
