THE CRACKPOTS ARE BACK, AGAIN
Oh, brother: A newly revised "science curriculum to allow the teaching of creationism" is causing a ruckus in Wisconsin.
A state law governing the teaching of evolution was regarded by a local school board as too restrictive, the AP reports. The science curriculum "should not be totally inclusive of just one scientific theory," said Joni Burgin, superintendent of the Grantsburg district of 1,000 students in northwest Wisconsin.
The science curriculum? Evolution as one theory and creationism as another? It's reassuring to know that 43 deans at Wisconsin public universities have protested the revision, along with hundreds of educators. Let's see if the crackpots budge.
