You’re overstating one comment [vs. a long list of comments to the contrary] to compare it to other politicians who have pushed the idea a lot harder. I read every single one of your posts on her and ID and what you’re saying today is way different than what you said when you were defending her. No worries - people can read what you wrote today vs. the previous posts and make up their own minds.

Bullshit. Here are Sarah Palin’s two statements, side by side:

“Teach both. You know, don’t be afraid of education. Healthy debate is so important, and it’s so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both.”

Followed by:

“I don’t think there should be a prohibition against debate if it comes up in class. It doesn’t have to be part of the curriculum.”

She added that, if elected, she would not push the state Board of Education to add such creation-based alternatives to the state’s required curriculum.

That is a reversal.
