From Wired.com:
A debate over evolution education in Texas could shape science classes in the southern United States for years to come.
The Texas Board of Education will vote Thursday and Friday on amendments to the state’s proposed science curriculum. The amendments convey doubt about evolution that, according to scientists, simply does not exist.
“They haven’t mentioned creationism or the age of the Earth,” said Steve Schafersman, president of Texas Citizens for Science, a nonprofit science education and policy watchdog. “It’s not openly creationist, but it’s anti-science. It demeans and devalues science.”
