Here we go again.

You might have seen this article from the Times about the Department of Education “inadvertently” removing evolutionary biology from its list of majors that are eligible for federal aid. The well has been poisoned again folks, and this time it isn’t through the more obvious conduit of placing statements supporting intelligent design in textbooks, but by “accidentally” discouraging people from majoring in a perfectly legitimate field that is on the same level and as scientific a pursuit as chemistry, physics, or biology. I find it shocking that conduct on the federal level could be changed by as nonsense an idea as intelligent design. First global warming, now this; there is never only one cockroach in the kitchen.
