Dan Gillmor reinforces the point I made here: You cannot raise a new generation of knowledge workers if you teach them bullshit like intelligent design.
I asked Benhamou, one of Silicon Valley’s more distinguished people, whether it was the duty of executives to speak out when the president of the United States suggests that science classes be required to teach ‘intelligent design’ — basically creationism in new clothing — as an equally valid alternative to evolution.
They absolutely should speak out, he said. It’s a fact, he observed, that today’s knowledge-based companies need people ‘whose minds are trained on knowledge and scientific fact, and not mixed up with this creationism bullshit.’
