Elsberry's personal weblog, talking about falconry, science, antievolution, computation, and the broken body he lives in.

This was in spite of the clear objections of Inez Tennenbaum, the State Superintendent of Education who is an ex-officio member of the EOC (and has a background in law). So the science ed. folks are now setting up strategies for the next Board of Ed. public hearing, which I believe is scheduled for early March. There are several SC newspapers that are keeping track of these developments, but Chris Dixon of the Charleston Post and Courier probably has done the best job of reporting the latest developments.
