I'm from Missouri: Evolution academic freedom bill passes Florida House by wide margin

I'm from Missouri

This site is named for the famous statement of US Congressman Willard Duncan Vandiver from Missouri : "I`m from Missouri -- you'll have to show me." This site is dedicated to skepticism of official dogma in all subjects. Just-so stories are not accepted here. This is a site where controversial subjects such as evolution theory and the Holocaust may be freely debated.

My biggest motivation for creating my own blogs was to avoid the arbitrary censorship practiced by other blogs and various other Internet forums. Censorship will be avoided in my blogs -- there will be no deletion of comments, no closing of comment threads, no holding up of comments for moderation, and no commenter registration hassles. Comments containing nothing but insults and/or ad hominem attacks are discouraged. My non-response to a particular comment should not be interpreted as agreement, approval, or inability to answer.

Evolution academic freedom bill passes Florida House by wide margin

Details are in various posts on the blog of the Florida Citizens for Science.

The Florida academic freedom bills still have some hurdles to clear:

(1) The House and Senate versions must be reconciled.

(2) The bill must be signed by the governor.

Time is running out -- I think that the current legislative session ends on May 2.

I don't much care whether these bills are good or bad -- I just feel that something is needed to counteract those infamous Kitzmiller v. Dover and Selman v. Cobb County decisions (the Selman decision is now moot because it was settled out of court).
