Fred Thompson on teaching evolution

JAN 01, 2008
Physics Today

The Thompson campaign has not issued a statement on evolution but on 27 October 2007, official campaign spokeswoman, Karen Hanretty said in a University of Chicago radio show

“I think that what he is most concerned about is that families, parents who sit on local school boards, local elected school boards ought to be making those decisions for themselves.”

When asked if Thompson “thinks intelligent design is a credible curriculum.”

Tomorrow with Alex Beinstein : Hanretty talks to us about why she chose to work for Thompson; his positions on Intelligent Design & the Line Item Veto; why the campaign is focusing on Fox News; their thoughts on the Newsweek article; and Thompson’s opinion on political ambition from a young age.
