Up From Monkeys!

Lynn Sislo points out (just before linking me; Thanks, Lynn!) a blog called Dispatches from the Culture Wars, which has all the earmarks of a pretty damned good blog. Good stuff on evolution taking place right now.

To return for just a moment to my off-hand comment about homeschooling that engendered a pretty extensive (for these parts) comment thread, I guess my real big problem with homeschooling, in principle, is that I think that we need to have a national debate one of these days on just what we think our kids should be learning. I don't like the idea of children learning only those things that their parents wish them to learn, and I especially don't like that idea in a time when science is generally held in very low esteem.
