"I don't believe that it's the role of government or the role of schools to settle controversial issues."
That's what doctor, state legislator, and losing gubernatorial candidate Jim Barnett says about his views on teaching evolution. He also thinks that there are two "sides of the issue" to be presented in science class.
Barnett, of course, thinks that government policy should be based on the controversial position that human life begins at the moment of conception. One only hopes that he thinks it's OK to address only one side of the controversial issue of the earth's motion around the sun.

One of the more annoying fictions promoted by the media is the one about John McCain being a moderate. A plain-speaking independent who states it plain and calls it the way he sees it. Of course, it's long been obvious to anyone who's been paying attention that he's a staunch right-winger, but…
CBS is ever so slowly releasing bits and pieces of Katie Couric's interviews with John McCain and Sarah Palin. Last night they released the transcript and some of the video of the third part of the interview where Governor Palin addresses several key science and health issues including her opinion…
The Brunswick school district in North Carolina was hurtling towards a lot of pain…and it's all thanks to the intransigent arrogance of the ignorant. There are some signs that they're going to see the light of reason, but there are holdouts, and as is usual in these cases, it's a few uninformed…
Now and again, some well-meaning but clueless person gets it into their head that teaching creationism in the schools is a good idea — that the clash of ideas is a good pedagogical technique. There are cases where that would be true, but doing it in the public school classroom and hashing over a…
I am a 7th grade Earth Science teacher, and one of the topics I teach is Astronomy, the Big Bang theory, and how the solar system was formed. One of the first questions I am asked is, "do I believe god?" This is a natural question to hear if I am telling my students something that does not readily fit into the time frame of the Bible.
I inform them that none of what they learn is an exact science and that in a few years what we believe is correct may change; an example of this is Pluto is no longer considered a planet. I encourage them to search out information and come to their own intepretations of what they believe the information may mean.
It is good for the students to learn information from different sources, science, religion, and their cultures. Let them learn as much as than can about every subject, but leave it up to their families and themselves to decide the relevance. I certainly do not want the government or a teacher telling me what is moral, right, or wrong; just give me the information.
