Letter to the Editor
A letter to Bush
George Bush: Let us talk about intelligent design vs. evolution. Do you advise teaching various Native American creation beliefs, such as the earth forming on the back of a turtle rising from the water?
How about the school of thought of Raelians that humans are cloned extraterrestrials? Or the Babylonian Enuma Elish that we sprang from blood drops of the God Kingu?
There are churches on every street corner, to say nothing of TV and radio coverage. Religion does not belong in science classes. How could science teachers be expected to explain any of the above beliefs? Special training?
George, if you want to expose people to different schools of thought, how about Darwinism in Sunday School, inserting a chapter of Origin of the Species between Genesis 1 and 2?
Oh, and George, a separate issue: Did you choose personal loyalty over competence when you decided to run for president?

Pat Robertson Threatens
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Conservative Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson told citizens of a Pennsylvania town that they had rejected God by voting their school board out of office for supporting "intelligent design" and warned them Thursday not to be surprised if disaster struck.
This man is crazy!

PA ousted 8 ID Republicans!!! YEAH!
Eight of nine members lose reelection bid
11/09/05 10:48 AM, EST
Voters came down hard Tuesday on school board members who backed a statement on intelligent design being read in biology class, ousting eight Republicans and replacing them with Democrats who want the concept stripped from the science curriculum.
Great news!
This makes my day. This is what happened in Darby. The smart Darby parents voted out the school board members that tried to add Intelligent Design to thier science classes. Another victory. Its too bad the public school system is losing money to these law suits, but the ID supporters are forcing their hand. The school district is almost always automatically sued. I don't like it either, but it is the only defense we have against these religious fundamentalists. If it was not for the rule of law, this country would be a theocracy. Its all sad and frustrating. This issue is tearing communities apart and hopefully it appears there is a backlash against the ID proponents. Same thing happened in Hamilton, Montana. Luckily there was no law suit. The public was able to vote out those ID folks before they had a chance to mess things up.
People pay attention to whats going on in your school district. Don't let this happen to you.
