The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Ohio Governor Ernie Fletcher is not afraid of the controversy regarding Intelligent Design.
"The foundation of our nation was based on inalienable rights endowed by a creator. And so the very foundation of democracy is based on intelligent design."
A provocative statement in this day age, to be sure. Downright incendiary.
"It's important to have local districts with the option of providing instruction on all theories," Fletcher stated.
He's taking the correct tact, since the issue really does boil down to freedom. And unlike the Dover School Board, appears to be rooted in mainstream attitudes.
Its time to boot the Creationists from the ID Tent, and be brave enough to focus on the issues in the way Fletcher is leading.
