 Send to email | The testimony in Texas in Creationism |  By Thoughts
el 16-Aug-2011 |
As you'll recall, I spoke toward the end of the public testimony at the Texas science standards supplements, so I departed from my prepared text a bit. Not, perhaps, my finest performance ever, due to the ad libbing.
A bunch of other video is online from the hearings, including this stunning video of Vera Preston-Jaeger, who told the board "I am able to be here today because I am in a drug research study in Austin and I got the medicine rather than the placebo. When I was first diagnosed, I was told that I would go blind and die within four years, and I'm still here and I'm very glad to be here today." From there, she talks about the importance of strong science education. It's awesome.

| And now? Texas | | This Thursday, the Texas Board of Education will vote to adopt science textbook supplements.
You'll recall that the board approved new science standards a couple years ago, and that they were a mixed bag. They dropped inaccurate language about "strengths and weaknesses" of scientific theories (language used to attack evolution in textbooks last time they did textbook adoption).

Back when Vista was announced, everyone was upset that they’d have to make significant hardware upgrades in order to accommodate the new operating system from Microsoft. Many faithful Windows users had to buy new computers because it was less expensive than making the upgrades necessary to their then-current notebooks and desktops. However, there was a [...] [..]
