What amazes me is that they seem to think they are actually fooling anyone with their lame attempts at subterfuge. They use the exact same arguments, long disproven, under a different name, and expect it suddenly to be acceptable and valid.

But they are fooling some people. Some hear the 'academic freedom' line and because it sounds so reasonable think it's a good idea. I've also had well meaning people fall for the "teach the controversy" and "free speech" tactic.
The academic freedom and also the 'strengths and weaknesses" tactics really piss me off because the driving force behind this marketing campaign has no interests in academic freedom nor an honest examination of strengths and weaknesses.
It's just the latest way of trying to weaken evolution and bring their religious ideas into the science classroom. I mean where was their academic freedom support when Evolution was fighting Creationism to just get into the classroom? The Butler Act of TN, the one John Scopes was convicted of violating in 1925, was on the books as late as 1964. It wasn't until 1987 and Edwards v. Aguillard ruled that Creationism/Creation Science couldn't be required to be taught alongside Evolution was the last nail in that idea ..and also the birth of the current headache Intelligent Design.
Like I said they are folling some people, which is why folks like us have to keep that awareness in front of folks. I've written each member of my local school board, the state school board, state representatives, the Governor, and Ohio's Congressmen and Senators on this issue. They know not everyone has the wool pulled over their eyes because of nice sounding words!

To pass off the religion of evolution as science boggles the mind. To consciously develop a theory that cannot be tested via the scientific method and then label such a theory “scientific” is the epitome of insanity. To hide behind a consensus, a poll among scientists, as proof that evolution is real truly puzzles the mind. In science, there can be no consensus. No one conducts a poll to discover what science is. When not even the fossil record supports the notion of evolution, for the evolutionist to condemn creationism because it cannot be proven is indeed the pot calling the kettle black.
