"Taverne shot back: "Since the Government is in favor of allowing
choice
between sense and nonsense, will it also allow children to be taught
that
the earth is flat and that the sun goes around the earth? Since there
is a

departments are closing down, will the Government also offer as an
alternative the teaching of astrology and alchemy?"

Minister who say they are in favor of science have allowed the
introduction
into our schools of the worst features of American fundamentalist,
anti-science, pseudoscience nonsense."
