It's becoming clear that scientific findings have been censored. We used to think that the persecution and fear that Galileo and Darwin suffered were relics of the unenlightened past. But present day right wing conservatives, both religious and secular, have shown us that knowledge can still be suppressed to serve an ideology or political purpose.

Who will triumph? The people who make observations and draw theories based upon the physical world or the authoritarian enforcers who believe that life in the past was so much better?

I'd like to think that people in the US are waking up, but the trend in our society, as well as our government, has been backward.

You are correct that the Bush administration choose to politicize several issues that affected science. Fortunately, it is getting better, and, if a non demagogue republican or a democrat get into office in 2008, this will change for the better.
I don't think it's right to censor stuff like that. I also think that sex ed should teach more than abstainance, and no self respecting science teacher should ever have to use the words ''intelligent design'' in a classroom.
It is wrong! It is scientific fraud and it is time to end it.
