12 Florida Schools Pass Anti-Evolution Resolutions

Several sources are reporting that twelve school districts in Florida have passed resolutions against the teaching of evolution. Out of all the arguments, however, one administrator seems to have gotten it right: "Then, the final speaker, Lisa Dizengoff, director of science curriculum at Pembroke Pines Charter School's east campus, angrily reminded the crowd that after all the carping over evolution, no one had gotten around to addressing the state's lackadaisical, last-century approach to science education. 'All I heard was this argument about evolution,' she said, disgusted that so many other problems had been preempted by a single controversy. 'The kids lost out again.''"

Re:Opposed to teaching Evolution as a fact....

that has always been my favorite fallback argument when someone explains to me that they don't believe in evolution. i ask them if they believe in gravity. after all, it's "only" a theory. sadly, this article points out evolution in progress. i have long held that intelligence is no longer a trait that the modern world is selecting for. the evidence is piling up all around us.
