| + | Ushma Neill, Executive Editor of the ''Journal of Clinical Investigation'', in an editorial in the same journal called [http://www.jci.org/cgi/content/full/115/10/2586 "Don’t be stupid about intelligent design"], wrote to colleagues: | ||

| + | President George W. Bush and Senate majority leader Bill Frist have recently publicly advocated teaching intelligent design in science classes. Their endorsement of a discredited, nonscientific view could signal a huge step backward for scientific education. It is time for educated, motivated scientists to get involved and to educate others. [...] Get informed and get involved — whether by telling your neighbors, discussing with your children, or joining action groups or committees. Thinly veiled attempts to inject religion into the classroom should be stopped by those of us with the understanding and wherewithal to do so. | ||
