Today in Georgia, the Cobb County School Board appealed the judges ruling from last week holding that "evolution disclaimer" stickers must be removed from science textbooks. And in Dover, PA, the town where my brother raised his family and my 2 nephews attended the public schools, today was the first day students were read the "Intelligent Design" statement. The Associated Press reports it was read by administrators:
Seven science teachers, including three biology teachers, wrote a letter earlier this month saying that reading the statement would violate Pennsylvania's professional standards and practices code. All three biology teachers chose not to read the statement.
You have to respect those teachers. Surprisingly, they're in the minority. A Gallup Poll found that only 35% of Americans say that evolution is well-supported by evidence. Now that's scary.
