Stupid Is As Supid Does

Evolutionary Times: Science isn’t democratic
The real lesson to be taken from the results of the Harris poll is that the general public has a poor understanding of evolution. This is a real problem and it needs to be addressed by better science education, not by watering down content – or perverting education standards – to avoid offending someone’s sensibilities.

Of course this is the same kind of thing I’ve been saying all along. Somewhere along the line, Americans have become stooooopid. It’s embarrassing, really. All the Europeans are laughing at us.

Anyway, check out Gerry L’s site Evolutionary Times. His posts contain lots of links to interesting news and blog articles about evolution education in the US. I don’t know about you, but I’m adding him to MY list of RSS feeds.
