Excellent. The biological-science version of the “Fairness Doctrine” goes down in flames.

“Excellent. The biological-science version of the “Fairness Doctrine” goes down in flames.”

So many things wrong with this comparison that it boggles the mind.

1) We aren’t talking about a free market system of the airwaves and forcing rejected ideas to have the same treatment as accepted, popular ideas. We’re talking about a government funded monopoly that many children have no choice about attending. Such a system should be required to present alternative views.

2) We aren’t talking about political commentary. We’re talking about a scientific “theory” (In quotes because there’s nothing scientific at all about evolution. In fact, it defies the scientific method.) that shouldn’t have to be protected from its critics.

3) We aren’t talking about liberals, who are all in a tizzy and fearful because they’re ideas aren’t popular and can’t be sold to the American people no matter how they are packaged. We’re talking about scientists who are in a tizzy and fearful..... Oh wait. Maybe there are some similarities.
