Anti-Evolution Bills Die on the Vine in Texas
Some more good news from Texas; that ludicrous House bill that would have allowed the young earth creationists at the Institute for Creation Research to offer a master’s degree in science education (despite a decision by the Higher Education Coordination Board to deny them this certification) has died when the House adjourned. Also dead: a bill that would have restored controversial language about “strengths and weaknesses” of evolutionary theory.
