Remember a few months ago when I posted a link concerning creationist efforts to debase science education in Texas?
They changed targets. And unsuprisingly, the incredibly suspect Don McLeroy is in on them both, according to Ed's post:
Even worse than Ames is Peter Morrison, a member of the Lumberton Independent School District Board of Trustees in Texas. He was appointed to the curriculum writing committee by fellow wingnut Don McLeroy and a brief look at some of his loopy statements reveals why.
Read the link, but be forewarned: most people are going to feel their IQs being crushed under the weight of so much fermented BS.

Date: 2009-06-26 12:02 am (UTC)The probable reason why McLeroy and the rest of his idiot brigade have shifted targets is that they _know_ they can't change the statewide science curriculum without getting a serious f(r)isking from a Federal court. In other words, if you know that your efforts to bollix up the physical sciences is doomed to failure, go after the social science instead; people will only call you on it if you _really_ go nuts.
The bad part?
As you can see from my post, they _have_ gone really nuts.
