News reports and a syndicated radio program, “Evolution Minute,” talk about the efforts to upgrade science education in Florida. Florida worries that without high science standards in education, their kids will be left behind.
High standards? That’s right: Evolution’s in, intelligent design is not. High quality education, not high feely education.
Recall that FL really wants to attract bioscience jobs, spent $120M to attract a branch of Scripps. They may have noticed that researchers and industry are not so keen to move somewhere that evolution isn’t taught.
