Re: paleonet More Nonsense: US school's new challenge to Darwin

["John Garrison, Jr" <jgarrison@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

As a science teacher who was trained as a micropalaeontologist and tempered 
in the crucible of evolutionary philosophy, I fully understand the pressures 
that the creationists can apply.  When I was approached by school 
administration and told to "tone down" my teaching of evolution, I resigned 
and went to work for an energy company.  Not only did I get paid a LOT more, 
but they also at least, believe in evolution!  I could not sacrifice my 
integrity to the creationist day dream.  But, what else can be expected in a 
country that elects the village idiot as its leader?
