ATLANTA --
Georgia's school superintendent Thursday dropped plans to remove the >
word "evolution" from the state's high school science curriculum.
"I will recommend to the teacher teams that the word `evolution' be >
put back in the curriculum," Kathy Cox said in a statement.
Cox said she originally wanted to replace "evolution" with the phrase >
"biological changes over time" to avoid controversy.
"Instead, a greater controversy ensued," she said.
The proposal drew widespread criticism.

ridicule.

One good thing about the French, since Napoleon, they've separated Church
from State, and relegated it to where it should be. And in France there
wouldn't have been an eyelid batted about Carter's little peccadilloes.
PS.
I'd couldn't resist the last comment, as I know it will infuriate Dave. LOL!
