Vote by Kansas School Board Favors Evolution's Doubters, noticia en el diario Los Angeles Times. En Phylosophy of Biology lo sacan a colacion por la cantidad de citas de defensores del Diseño Incompetente que se alegran de la decision del consejo de educacion de Kansas. Yo lo comento porque me parece un articulo periodistico bastante bueno, que refleja la division del propio comite educativo y deja bien claro que esto es cosa de la fe religiosa de algunos inmiscuyendose en lo que se enseña como ciencia.
National science groups opposed the measure, and critics contended it was an effort to inject religion into the classroom."Un gran dia para Kansas" por haber "elevado los estandares cientificos". Eso cree el presidente del consejo educativo. Afortunadamente en ese mismo consejo hay gente con la cabeza en su sitio:
But its advocates said they were interested only in improving science.
"This is a great day for Kansas," board President Steve E. Abrams said. "This absolutely raises science standards."
The dissenters noted that some board members who backed the standards have been outspoken about their faith and have criticized evolution for being offensive to Christianity.Completamente de acuerdo con Carol. Y con Janet, que aunque sea una creacionista sabe que las estupideces son cosa personal y no han de enseñarse en clase ("Why not be honest and say it is a faith issue? … I personally believe in the biblical version of creationism, but I don't believe that my beliefs should be taught in a science class."), y que al hacerlo quedan en ridiculo ante el mundo entero. Espero que Abrams y demas IDiotas republicanos, tan patriotas como son, se den cuenta de eso. A ver si al entrar en conflicto sus dogmas (fe religiosa y patrioterismo) se caen del burro. O quiza lo que los demas pensemos de ese estado de vaqueros y paletos les importe un pimiento.
"I'm certainly not here to change anyone's faith, but I wish you were not changing science to fit your faith," board member Carol Rupe said to Abrams.
Added member Janet Waugh: "We're becoming a laughing-stock, not only of the nation but of the world."
