As I have said previously. Language like "strengths and weaknesses" is
directly from the Discovery Institute's playbook (and the bill is
modeled on previous legislation put forth by the DI).

LOL! A phrase like "strengths and weaknesses" appears across a broad
spectrum of literature, and is not confined to DI.

Well, what a clever response. I never would have guessed that the
phrase has been used before. Gee, do you suppose that when criminal
forensics identifies a steak knife with fingerprints as a murder
weapon the police should conclude they have no evidence because steak
knives appear in a broad spectrum of kitchens?

I would think that the fingerprints would be fairly conclusive. LOL!

And, even if we accept your dubious premise, is not evidence of a "cover"
of
anything. These people at DI are truly under the impression that if
evolutionary theory is properly vetted, it will be weighed in the
balances
and found wanting (to borrow the Biblical phrase). They are quite
outspoken
about that, actually. And that's what their agenda is: enable some
critical analysis of the theory.

They are outspoken about a lot of things, and those things often
change depending upon the audience to which they're out speaking.
Their agenda goes far, far beyond enabling critical analysis of
evolution. Look, as I've said many times to this point, you need to
educate yourself on this issue. Read some Ken Miller, then move on to
Pennock's Tower of Babel.

Nice paragraph which does absulutely NOTHING to support the idea that there
is language in this bill which provides cover for political and religious
groups.

No one with an open mind should object to that.

An open mind filled with misinformation can be more dangerous than a
closed mind.

Where is there anything about filling people's minds with misinformation in
this bill?

Probably in the same provision which provides cover for political and
religious groups.

That is, nowhere. LOL!
