Texas Science Director Forced To Resign Over ID Statements

Posted by Zonk on Friday November 30, 2007 @09:30PM 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.'"

ID is the study of the design. It's science, much like forensics, etc. It's not the study of the designer, which is definitely within the realm of religion, philosophy, art, etc.

Which is why the amount of leverage those ID nuts have is even more astounding.
