Another hit against science. But Christianity and Judaism and their nationalistic arms are what our hard earned taxes should fund. Texas just killed science in public schools as well, and will funnel that money into private Christian schools and Yeshivas that emphasize religion.
Yea, this isn’t about “government efficiency" or any such excuse. They simply hate science and what it has to say about the damage we are doing to the environment that sustains us. Can’t have trivial things like clean air interfere with the profit motive. It is quite alarming.
