This is already a sellout to the creo ‘wedge’ strategy of ‘teaching the controversy’ (to good effect). It’s happenin’ in my front yard here in Austin. We appreciate any support & noisemaking too. I use Texas Freedom Network (www.tfn.org) as my check-in place. Austin (TX, not MN)bathes in the Edwards aquifer and it doesn’t extend to Kansas.

We’re not the policymaker, we’re the facilitator, we carry it out

Really? So, if told to teach only evolutionary biology, Ratcliffe is not going to have a problem with this? Everything will be grins and giggles?

As a guardian of standards in science education, surely her job was to ensure no dilution in standards by the introduction of religion into the biology classroom.I hope she has the courage, and the moral and financial support she needs, to see this through. It could be the next Dover.
