This is too good to be true. On the day that Comfort's and Cameron's no-talent retrograde moron show comes to campus to sling lowest-common-denominator mud about evolution, two professors from Penn State's own political science department will be lecturing on what biology teachers actually teach, who influences what's taught, and how this plays out politically. Come on out!.. type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/152/addthis_widget.js"> Read Full Story
