Found this story over at
Slashdot, links to this
NY Times article:
"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.'"
The central bullshit here is that an educational agency "must remain neutral" about teaching science over religion. Education is where this issue
actually matters and they shouldn't be allowed to fuck it up so badly.
