Unsurprising link between anti-gay and anti-science education policies emerges in Florida's academic freedom frey

Category: Creation ScienceCreationismEducationIntelligent Design
Posted on: April 28, 2008 1:10 PM, by Greg Laden

This is described in UDreamOfJanie:

Ronda R. Storms is a Florida sate senator (Republican) who has spearheaded efforts against Planned Parenthood, against her local LGBTA community, and so on, is now linked to the Discovery Institute in regards to her latest project, the Florida "Academic Freedom" bill.

In regards to Academic Freedom, Storms ...

...took the age-old ethical high-road known as 'Lying for Jesus'. She insists that this bill is about the freedom to inquire about all `scientific information relevant to the full range of scientific views regarding biological and chemical evolution in connection with teaching any prescribed curriculum regarding chemical or biological evolution.' When asked if this is just a backdoor for sneaking in 'Intelligent Design', she wouldn't answer the question.

Rhonda Storms sounds like the name of a stripper or drag queen.
