John Fleck, a science writer with the Albuquerque Journal, has praised the evolution blog Panda’s Thumb on the Albuquerque Journal website, even linking to the Darwinist blog. The Albuquerque Journal headlined the academic freedom bill as a “‘Creationism’ Measure” while Fleck called it “the latest ‘intelligent design’ bill in the New Mexico legilsature [sic].” The bill says nothing about intelligent design or creationism, and it only protects the teaching of “scientific information relevant to the strengths and weaknesses” of a theory of biological origins. Both articles leave off a crucial portion of the bill which explicitly does not protect the teaching of “information derived from religious or philosophical writings, beliefs or doctrines.” Why would anyone oppose this bill? It’s simple: they don’t want scientific information taught to students if it challenges Darwin. To hide their censorial mindset, Darwinists try to justify opposing the bill by claiming it promotes religion. Fair-minded readers can decide for themselves whether religion is permitted under this bill. Regardless, there’s no question that the Albuquerque Journal is doing their best to promote the viewpoint of the Darwinists. Could a media source reveal its pro-Darwinist bias any more clearly?
