Who am I?

John M. Lynch is an Honors Faculty Fellow at Barrett the Honors College at Arizona State University. He's also affiliated with ASU's Center for Biology & Society. When he's not an historian of anti-evolutionism, he's an evolutionary morphologist. Much to his surprise, in 2007 he was named the Arizona Professor of the Year. No doubt his students were surprised as well.

Iowa rejects ”Evolution Academic Freedom Act”

Category: Anti-evolutionIntelligent DesignPoliticsScience Education
Posted on: March 13, 2009 9:43 PM, by John Lynch

Over at PT, Hector Avalos is reporting that the deadline has passed for the DI-inspired "Evolution Academic Freedom Act” (HF 183) to move out of committee in Iowa. This one is now officially dead. Thus the scorecard so far looks like:

  • Mississippi - dead in committee
  • Oklahoma - dead in committee
  • Iowa - dead in committee
  • New Mexico - in committee
  • Alabama - in committee
  • Missouri - in committee
  • Florida - in committee
  • Texas - at state board

This brings the tally for 2009 to three dead out of eight. Frankly I can't imagine the DI is terribly happy about this.

Eight of eight would be nice.
