LANSING, Mich. -- The State Board of Education on Tuesday
approved public school curriculum guidelines that support
the teaching of evolution in science classes -- but not
intelligent design.

Intelligent design instruction could be left for other classes
in Michigan schools, but it doesn't belong in science class,
according to the unanimously adopted guidelines.

"The intent of the board needs to be very clear," said board
member John Austin, an Ann Arbor Democrat. "Evolution is not
under stress. It is not untested science."

Some science groups and the American Civil Liberties Union had
worried that state standards would not be strong enough to
prevent the discussion of intelligent design as the course
expectations developed over the summer.

6. Actually, They Predict Snow On Thursday

if it falls, it will be 6-8 weeks early.

The GOP candidate for governor has come out lambasting our current governor for the dismal job situation on the one hand, and advocating "teaching Intelligent Bullshit" on the other. Poor man has more money than brains. Hope he looses both.
