A Georgia school system considers banning the word 'evolution' from its curriculum and replacing it with "biological changes over time." The superintendent justifies it this way:
"Cox repeatedly referred to evolution as a "buzzword" Thursday and said the ban was proposed, in part, to alleviate pressure on teachers in socially conservative areas where parents object to its teaching."
How weak kneed is that. I know teachers have to deal with a lot of silly pressure over this whole creationism movement, but there are some places where you have to stand up and do what's right. Changing the name clutters up the language for no reason. Teach evolution, call it evolution and explain what it is. Then kids will have their own chance to decide whether they believe in evolution or creationism.
