2. FIRST AMENDMENT: CAMPAIGN TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION LAUNCHED.
Yesterday, a group of the nation's leading scientists, clergy and
legal scholars announced the formation of the Campaign to Defend
the Constitution, an online grassroots movement to combat the
threat posed by the religious right to American democracy, public
education and scientific leadership http://www.defconamerica.org.
The Campaign's first "DefCon Alert" is a map showing the nation's
top ten "islands of ignorance," where science education is under
attack -
including, of course, the Dover school district.
Ignorance, eh? How about information science? IMHO, the islands
of ignorance map should have the U of Maryland in bright red. Defcon
sounds a lot like bureaucratic newspeak in 1984.
