The Bush Administration has declared war on science. Whether it is teaching the mysticism labeled "Intelligent Design" in science classes or rewriting environmental reports and scientific reports, the government brushes aside truth in order to continue its massive patronage scheme to its business and religious cronies.
Cynthia Tucker writes:
Just last week, the president poked a sharp stick in the eye of modern biology, telling reporters that high schools should teach "intelligent design." This view challenges evolution by inserting a divine force into scientific theories about the origins of life.
According to The Washington Post, Mr. Bush, in an Oval Office meeting with a group of Texas reporters Aug. 1, said, "Both sides ought to be properly taught ... so people can understand what the debate is about."
