TEA v. Science Continues

The story still has legs, as they say. It really is a good story if you think about it. State education agency fires top science curriculum for insinuating that 'creationism' isn't science. Throw in a governor trying to ingratiate himself with the far right constituency and a new commissioner that was a former staffer from the governor's office and there you go.

They New York Times printed an editorial. So did the Houston Chronicle plus a story on the matter. Not to be outdone, the Statesman throws in two cents.

And now, the author of the book that started the whole thing in the first place has released a statement.

Someone over at the TEA has stepped in a pile of shit. Let's watch to see how they clean off their shoes. (Please, please, please, let them hire some wingnut radical anti-science, pro-creationism educator from West Texas with questionable credentials. Please, please, please. It would be sooooo gooooooood.)

No... I think the Commish loves to tell the conservatives he's the Educrats' worst enemy. Otherwise Walnut wouldn't love him so much.
