Evolutionary Majors Get NO Government Grants This Year

From an article published Aug 24, in the NY Times, I was shocked to discover that the Federal Government “accidentally” deleted the “Evolutionary Major” from it’s list of acceptable majors for grants to low-income students in their 3rd or 4th year of college. That’s pretty scary. It seems that when the matter was brought to their attention, they said “Oops, we’ll correct that,” but then they DIDN’T.

Okay that IS scary, but the scariest part of the article was the fact that the ‘source’ who informed us of this asked that his identity remain anonymous. So people are scared of pointing out a little boo-boo made by the Dept. of Education? What could this source be scared of? He doesn’t want the publicity that might accompany the subject? Or is he scared of repercussions from our present pro-Fundamentalist Christianity-or-else administration? That is what I think he’s scared of, and THAT really scares me.
