Perhaps inspired by the President’s use of “weapons of mass destruction-related program activities” in the State of the Union, the Georgia state school superintendent has proposed replacing the word “evolution” with “biological changes over time”.
No, really. We aren’t making this up.
Note that the proposal only replaces the word “evolution”; it doesn’t stop teachers from teaching the underlying concepts of it. It’s yet another bone tossed to appease the religious right, who aren’t going to be satisfied by these word games anyway.
