Just curious. How do you feel about Alabama advancing its "creation science" bill? Clearly, unequivocally there are reactionary trends taking us far in the opposite direction you say we are going.

I will always take the path of science over the path of superstition and manufactured grievances.

I think that it's a classic example of ideology infiltrating the classroom. Creationism could be taught in a philosophy class, but it has very little relation to the scientific process.

But I would say that these trends are localized. The urban coasts are not the same as Alabama, and I see the error as springing from an identical root: the desire to control the narrative and impose a particular political conscience on the youth.
