Texas Science Director Forced To Resign Over ID Statements

Posted by Zonk on from the best-state-to-get-edumacated dept.

jeffporcaro writes "Texas' Director of Science Curriculum was 'forced to step down' for favoring evolution over intelligent design (ID). She apparently circulated an e-mail that was critical of ID — although state regulations require her not to have any opinion 'on a subject on which the agency must remain neutral.' 'The agency documents say that officials recommended firing Ms. Comer for repeated acts of misconduct and insubordination. The officials said forwarding the e-mail message conflicted with her job responsibilities and violated a directive that she not communicate with anyone outside the agency regarding a pending science curriculum review.'"

    Sorry, but anyone who believes in religion and god(s) is an idiot.

    So instead of having good and evil, you really have good and "less good".

    Hmm. You know, when thinking about the various religions, I always come back to the format of 'sucks' and 'sucks less.'
