Paleonet: Evolution and Creationism in America's Classrooms

[Shimada, Kenshu]

All,

This is an interesting read.

Berkman, M.B., J.S. Pacheco, and E. Plutzer.  2008.  Evolution and
Creationism in America's Classrooms: A National Portrait.  PLoS Biology
6(5):e124, which is downloadable at:
http://biology.plosjournals.org/archive/1545-7885/6/5/pdf/10.1371_journa
l.pbio.0060124-S.pdf

If you have no time reading the whole paper, read at least the last two
sentences of the text on page 923 (immediately above "Supporting
Information").  The conclusion is rather obvious, but it's nice to see
it spelled out.

Regards,
Kenshu
