The Radical Right War on Science Continues.

The Chairperson of the House Science Committee, Mo Brooks, said, during a public hearing, that rising sea levels were caused by dropping rocks from shorelines and that global warming/climate change increased the icing levels at the poles.

The Proposed New K-12 Science Standards in Arizona were edited by the staff of the reactionary Superintendent Diane Douglas and the word evolution was edited out in most places it had been cited.

A new movie adaption of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 will be coming out on May 19. That is very appropriate for this country at this time in its history.
