Having pinged everyone, I want to add that this thread is a companion to this other one:
Biology textbook hearings prompt science disputes [Texas]

The discovery institute is a frightening concept, and to think that they are based right here in my neck of the woods.

They wish to have ID placed in the science curriculum, yeah, they are upset, because their agenda has been compromised.

First you get the doubts in there, giving blatantly silly statements about evolution, then once you get those changes done, you slide in with ID and boom, you're there.

These guys have learned from the liberal playbook well.

It's all about slowly and one step at time to reach the goal, because as you take the baby steps, by the time you get to where you want to go, everybody around you is trying to figure out what happened.

The slippery slope exists, and once the sled gets moving, the momentum is hard to stop. Time to take this ID sled apart, before it really picks up speed and our public schools become even more of a joke in education as they already are.

It is WAY past time to take apart the education system we have in this country and privatize it, school vouchers and choice are the ONLY way to fix this train wreck.

Note that the Knight-Ridder lead story on that thread descibes the hearing in a similar fashion to the CNN article that Discovery is crying about. Is this proof that the media are in a big conspiracy to suppress the truth of ID/creationism/Genesis?
