She addresses how being 'fair' in journalism does not mean you have to give each side equal time, or even equal treatment! It might help. You can present the validated science side and the unsupported creationist ideas without making them sound like two equal points of view.<BR/><BR/>I have been to Iowa and liked the state and the folks.

Some poor school system will be spending scarce resources on this foolishness. I hope never to see the same thing in an Iowa school district.

I don't think the bill will get very far in Iowa. We value education too much and we don't have a large cadre of fundies who will rally around this it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
