Santorum Cuts Ties With ID Group

Senator Santorum in 2002: If the Education Board of Ohio does not include intelligent design in the new teaching standards, many students will be denied a first-rate science education. (Source: Washington Times) Now he has broken ties with the Thomas More Law Center, the people who backed the disastrous challenge to evolution in Pennsylvania. Robert P. Casey, the Democrat challenger for his senate seat immediately jumped on it. It would have been smarter for Sen. Santorum to keep his head down. If, as he says, he never believed it was the right case for an evolution test he should have done this before the decision. His belated desertion of the shipwreck looks bad to both ID proponents and those who prefer science instead—a lose/lose move.
