I thought a little good news would be nice today. It comes on the Intellegent Design front, from Utah, of all places!
School board: Intelligent design isn't
To borrow a line from Dorothy: We're not in Kansas anymore.
Unlike the Kansas School Board, which earlier this summer approved allowing educators to teach theories in addition to evolution that explain life on Earth, the Utah Board of Education on Friday unanimously approved a position statement supporting the continued exclusive teaching of evolution in state classrooms.
A state Senator is threatening legislation, and may put the issue on the ballot in 2006, so it ain't dead yet.

P.S. -- Please, because I only have one diary today, I just wanted to put out a plea to donate to the Red Cross. 1-800-HELP-NOW. Also, please Sign my petition Calling on the Senate to hold hearings into the delays in getting aid to NOLA and other areas.
