Bullshit: they are obscuring the fact that they have given into to creationist propaganda that claims evolution to be part of a 'controversy'.

2. Science Has No Place in Politics

It is disappointing but expected that political figures in the US would fail to show interest in a scientific debate.

Tony Benn once commented on the great ignorance in Economics of politicians in the UK, and that has (to some extent) been re-addressed. That is encouraging, as certain scientific ways of thinking are integral to economics, and you must be reasonably well trained in mathematics and statistics to gain an undergraduate degree in Economics. I don't know how this compares to the US?
