This is a repost of an item from my old blog.
The Twin Cities Creation Science Fair association usually posts "random" photographs of the children's exhibits on their web site after the fair is over. You can go and see them for the last few years. (Don't look for a place to click on this post, I don't provide it here.)
But this year, something different happened, and if you go to the site where the photographs are supposed to be posted, you get this:
Interesting, huh?
Now, to really get the context of this, you may need to read at least the blog post and the last six or so comments in a conversation going on here about home schooling.
I'm not going to even attempt to explain this. Comments? Suggestions? Information? Valium?

Every year the Twin Cities Creation Science Association puts on a science fair which is sometimes called the Home Schooling Creation Science Fair. It used to be held at Har Mar mall, which was great because it is always a pleasure to stop in at Har Mar. But for the last two years, including last…
This is not a manual or even a how-to blog post, but rather, what I hope to be a few helpful suggestions that may or may not have already occurred to you. I was motivated to write this because of a series of recent events in which it became obvious that a lot of people, myself included in certain…
During my summer blogging break, I thought I'd repost of few of my "greatest hits" from my old blog, just so you all wouldn't miss me so much. This one is from January 13, 2009. It ended up being pretty popular and was the reason that ALA Editions initially contacted me about doing a book.

I have a pretty good idea. It may have something to do with a recent post by Possum Momma aka Atheist in a Minivan.

Oh and last year Pharyngula probably did that fair.
So, you're saying they left this nastygram on their website just because you linked to their pictures in your blog? If so, then congrats! But seriously, is that the only reason, because that's lame on their part.
Lance: I remember this discussion-- that was the ONLY reason they did that--oh, and also that Greg didn't share their view that the earth was created in seven days (or was it six?)
Nice to see this post alive and well;-)
My belief is that they took down the pictures because they were the same as my pictures, and they did not have any other pictures.
If you take all the known pictures of the event and count up the number of depicted exhibits, it is a fraction of what the organizers claimed were there. They got caught in a lie. A christian, creationist, homeschooling lie.
They needed to take the pictures down to cover their tracks, and they chose to blame me for the removal of the pictures, even though that makes no sense whatsoever.
Another lie.
I think I may be away the weekend of the fair this year. Too bad.
