re: #173 fish

While in the past I have been supportive of “academic freedom” bills (and still am if they are worded correctly to avoid bias) I cannot express how repugnant I find this proposed change to the Texas Curriculum.

“Academic freedom” bills exist for one purpose, and one purpose only — to promote the teaching of creationism in science classes. Every single “academic freedom” bill currently in state legislatures stems from the Discovery Institute’s model bill.

There is absolutely no need for these bills — except to sneak creationism into public schools.
