More news on banning the word "evolution" from Georgia schools, this time from former President Jimmy Carter. Excerpts taken from this CNN article: "As a Christian, a trained engineer and scientist, and a professor at Emory University, I am embarrassed by Superintendent Kathy Cox's attempt to censor and distort the education of Georgia's students," Carter said in a written statement. Carter said dropping the word would leave Georgia's high school graduates "with a serious handicap as they enter college or private life where freedom of speech will be permitted." Carter also predicted ridicule for the state, along with discredit on Georgia's university system. |
