Utah Board of Education Votes to Keep Teaching EvolutionSad that this vote was really needed, but
grateful that it was a unanimous "yes" to keep teaching evolution in Utah's
classrooms. From an article
on
firstamendmentcenter.com:
The State Board of Education voted unanimously on Sept. 2 to continue teaching evolution as part of the biology curriculum in Utah’s schools.But unfortunately, it looks like state senator Buttars is still at it. Get this from him: On Sept. 2, he told the state board the theory of evolution had “more holes than a crocheted bathtub,” adding that barring a discussion of intelligent design was a move akin to censorship.It's obvious now to me that Buttars is completely uneducated with respect to biology. I thought he might just be pandering to voters, but with statements like these it pretty obvious he just hasn't read any books on evolution other than Behe's. As reported, the board ignored his request for a two hour session to discuss intelligent design. HA! Good for them! Posted: Tue - September 6, 2005 at 01:32 PM |
