Reasons to build a Beagle (n+1)

Bolton in the North West of England has seen the latest outbreak of educational IDiocy, as the head of a school has suggested that Intelligent Design is suitable subject material for? Discussion in science lessons. Good story from the local paper the Bolton News here including a poll in which 70% of the good burghers of Bolton give the IDiotic idea a loud, prolonged rational raspberry. Mr Williamson is pedalling the intellectually bankrupt 'teach the controversy' line beloved of Creationists and ID shrills in America. The bandwagon which this educationalist helped push blogged about here.

H/t to Psilordinary for the story. He runs a blog called Truth in Science revealed dedicated to exposing and countering those bilge-purveyors Truth in Science (no link).
