Intelligent Design at the Statehouse
It seems that Dr. Baugh managed to convince legislators that his completely erroneous ideas about biology should be taken seriously when he visited in September. See this post about his visit. Now there is legislation being drafted that would force Indiana educators to teach his misunderstanding of the evidence to students.
Indiana public schools would teach "intelligent design" along with evolution under legislation that some Republican lawmakers are developing for the 2006 legislative session.
Fortunately Governor Mitch Daniels and many of our science educators remain skeptical of this nonsense. The same cannot be said for Russ Pulliam who wrote a very ill informed editorial piece on the topic.
