After reading through some of the comments on the most excellent Bad Astronomy blog it appears that the Academic Freedom bill I mentioned in my previous post might have died simply because they’re at the end of their legislative session and all of the leftover junk is just being rushed off the docket. I’d like to believe that there was an indignant rational response to the idea of stealth religion making its way into the science curriculum, but state senators eager to clear everything so that they can get to their summer vacation sounds like a far more likely explanation. I’m willing to bet that we haven’t heard the last of the so-called “academic freedom” bill down there.
