I don't think anything should be getting Federal Aid. That is what private business is for.
I agree Osborn..private research is subject to less restrictions and bureaucratic interference!

IMNSHO the whole issue introduced on this thread is a "tempest in a Teapot"! Sure an Evolutioniary Biology should still be on the list. What amuses me is how even though the person in charge of the grant program says it was a clerical error..

There is a flurry of leftist condemnation and criticism of the religious rights interference in academics that might jostle the beliefs of Christians..who it is implied don't believe in evolution !
Is not that a bit over the top? If the boss says it should be on the list then no one will be damaged, will they? Is that a reason for the ACLU to insert its nose into the thing? What absolute nonsense this is...whose civil rights have been violated?


Thus we play the fools with the time, and the spirits of the wise sit in the clouds and mock us.
