Hi, My Name Is . . .

.
All right, maybe I’m fixating a little on the Discovery Institute’s reaction to the Lebec, California case. But just because I’ve done a post . . . or two . . . or three . . . whatever . . . about it, doesn’t mean I have a problem or anything. I can quit anytime I like.

Tell you what, that’s just what I’ll do. I’ll quit . . . right after I have this last one for the road:

On the Discovery Institute’s website, Evolution News & Views, in an article entitled "Then Americans United Okay With Intelligent Design in Philosophy, Now Americans United Seeking To Stamp It Out Across The Board," dated January 17th and contemporaneous with the already conflicting positions it has taken since the settlement, the DI claimed that Americans United for Separation of Church and State position on ID was that it wanted "to ban it from all classes."

They reached this conclusion based on the following quote from Ayesah Khan, legal director for Americans United (all emphasis added):

This [the Lebec settlement] sends a strong signal to school districts across the country that they cannot promote creationism or intelligent design as an alternative to evolution, whether they do so in a science class or a humanities class.

Which they claim contradicts this statement from the Rev. Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United:

[Y]ou can, in fact, talk about creation stories from a multitude of religions. It ought to be to be in a social studies class, not in a biology class.

So, basically, what the DI is trying to do is to turn the lack of reading comprehension into a political movement.
