I would like to partially concur with George, in that all concerned
residents of Ohio, and especially those who are science educators, should
make their opinions known to the State Board of Education.
However, if that board took the opinions of outsiders with more than a grain
of salt, they wouldn't be doing their jobs very well.
Of course, I may just have a sour grapes attitude about this: while the
Brotherhood of Darwinism seem to have rallied around this issue pretty well,
the ID-ers seem to think, in the end, that scientific facts and common sense
will rule the day.
It is ironic that these people give the citizens, and leaders, of Ohio more
credit to be able to understand science than do Ohio's science teachers.
