They don't want to ban science education, they just want the Old Testament to be the primary science text. For a nice laugh, go look at this graph: scienceblogs.com The data is from Science mag, and shows for the first time AFAIK, data on American's views off modern biology linked wrt to Conservative/Liberal as well as religious background (Fundamentalist/non-Fundamentalist) and level of education. Note a couple of things: 1) More education always helps. 2) Grad school educated Conservative/Moderate Fundamentalists are about on the level of high-school educated non-Fundamentalists 3) College Education for Fundamentalists does almost no good in this context vs. only having HS. If one considers what this chart shows (knowledge is not useful if ideology is your guiding light) then think of what Conservative Fundamentalists means for American FP, Economics, Science in general, etc, Ouch! Edit: The only reasonable Fundamentalist species is the Liberal, Grad school educated one, which surely must be almost nonexistant! LOL!
