Oh man, not again. Add Ohio to the intellectual backwaters of the world. Logic-impaired senator Santorum's (R, PA) amendment to inspire debate against evolution got passed in Ohio.
That timing makes Ohio the first place for evolution opponents to use the Santorum amendment - named for its author, Republican Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania - to bolster their argument that students should also be taught alternatives to evolution, or at least be told that such concepts exist.
Here's the sentence that gets me:
The language suggested that when teaching "controversial" scientific topics, schools should help students "understand the full range of scientific views."
So now creationism is a scientific view?
