Playing Politics with Education

While I don't know what started this, nor how it came about, today brought sad news to the world of science education. Rather than being able to present a valid, yet different, theory to science, the opponents have decided to win the battle by drowning the competition. By showing that those who support 'Intelligent-design' will lose their position on the school board, it forces educators to be silent for fear of losing their jobs. Intimidation and fear factors should not be used to slience valid educational activity.
