The Texas Education Agency just released the full list of members serving on the science review panels that will evaluate instructional materials submitted for approval by the State Board of Education (SBOE). As TFN predicted earlier this spring, the review panel for biology includes a number of individuals with a history of promoting intelligent design/creationism or advocating the teaching of phony “weaknesses” of evolution in science classes. continue reading...
The fact that these people keep bringing up intelligent design/ creationism when discussing science shows that they really have no understanding of the actual science. Either that or they are just assholes pushing their agenda to make a buck. Both upset me for different reasons.
First, if you don't understand science enough to know the difference between real science and pseudo science I can somewhat understand. The issue I have with this is that when someone tries to explain the fault in your misunderstanding, you stick your head in the sand and/or become a parrot reciting whatever bullshit you can remember Ray Comfort vomiting.
Secondly, if you do actually understand the science (which means you know you're lying to everyone), you dear sir or ma'am, are exactly what's wrong with this country. You prey on the scientifically ignorance of anyone who will listen to you so that you can sell them books, etc... You are an embarrassment, you are disgraceful. Please just GTFO
