Dover, Darwin, and Decision 0

A while ago I wrote about the Dover, Pa., school board’s religious crusade.

The citizens of the Dover School District have turned out the school board.

DOVER, Pa. – Voters in this rural school district yesterday ousted eight school board members who backed a controversial policy to introduce high school students to intelligent design, which critics say is a form of creationism.

Voters replaced the GOP incumbents with a Democratic slate that called for removing intelligent design from Dover’s science curriculum, returns from all six precincts showed.

It would appear that the citizens of Dover believe that public school teachers, as agents of the state, should be responsible for course work, not missionary work.

A little win in a little battle against the forces of ignorance.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
