SPECIAL GUEST CO-HOST: Thenmozhi Soundararajan<\/em><\/p>\nWith the defeat of Intelligent Design in a Dover, Pennsylvania courtroom two years ago, proponents of the belief are not giving up. The Discovery Institute has recently published the first so-called Biology textbook that prominently presents what is deemed by the authors\u2019 as an \u201cinquiry based\u201d approach to the teaching of evolution. According to the book\u2019s website, the text titled, \u201cExplore Evolution: The Arguments For and Against Neo-Darwinism,\u201d is ideal for Biology teachers in college and high school alike. Critics of the textbook say that it belongs to the long tradition of creationist literature and that it is a sophisticated way to bring ID into public classrooms nationwide. Legal debates surrounding evolution may lie in the future as Texas Governor Rick Parry appointed Don McLeroy over the summer to be the new chairman of the Texas State Board of Education. McLeroy, a Republican, has campaigned in the past for Biology textbooks to include dissenting views on evolution such as those now presented by the Discovery Institute’s recent publication. As the US\u2019 peculiar culture war shows no signs of slowing down, a new documentary, \u201cFlock of Dodos,\u201d tackles the Evolution vs. ID debate in an entertaining and humorous way.<\/p>\n
