Evolution No Longer Worth Learning, Says Government

Davemania writes "New York Times reports that the Evolution biology subject has disappeared from a list of acceptable fields of study for recipients of a federal education grant for low-income college students. The Education department has described this as a Clerical Mistake but others are skeptical about this. 'Scientists who knew about the omission also said they found the clerical explanation unconvincing, given the furor over challenges by the religious right to the teaching of evolution in public schools. "It's just awfully coincidental," said Steven W. Rissing, an evolutionary biologist at Ohio State University.'" As someone who made use of one of those grants to study Evolutionary Biology, I find this more than a little galling.

Hey... that's a class link to an awsome dance track and video (Borderline). If you aren't hip to the dance vibe, then shut the fuck up.

Hey Krusty... this ain't debate club here. It's Slashdot. Come for the articles, stay for the trolls. Now get with the program and grow a sense of humour.
