Rewriting History
Cheri Yecke, K-12 chancellor for Florida’s Department of Education, may be finding that ID activist William Dembski is right about one, if only one, thing: "ID is the intellectual elite’s equivalent of leprosy."
When Yecke was Minnesota Commissioner of Education in 2003 she gave the go-ahead to schools in that state to incorporate “intelligent design” into the science curriculum there.
Now, perhaps having thought better of it, she wants to erase all memory of the event, and she's hired ReputationDefender to search the Internet for information about her and challenge the items she disputes.
Wildlife biologist and evolution defender Wesley Elsberry recently received an e-mail from the organization asking him to remove or modify a quote he has on his personal website about Yecke.
