    Dawkin’s Victory over Creationists

    Great news for all sane people. Hopefully our own Dept of Education will also bar any creationist nonsense, infecting our classrooms.

    Richard Dawkins celebrates a victory over creationists | Education | The Observer

    Leading scientists and naturalists, including Professor Richard Dawkins and Sir David Attenborough, are claiming a victory over the creationist movement after the government ratified measures that will bar anti-evolution groups from teaching creationism in science classes.

    I would be a Creationist of sorts myself, but I agree that sort of teaching does not belong in a Science class.
