Evolutionists Are Wrong!

I'm unsure how the science education standards manuals actually work, but my guess is that they were written specifically to be incorporated into various state edicts describing science teaching, similar to building codes.

In that case, this strikes me as substantially similar to the case building codes. You can't copyright a law, or the law becomes meaningless - available only to those who can pay for it, while applying to all. And even though I, like the author of the Wired article and the most of the members of the scientific community, agree with the goals in this case, for consistency's sake I must disagree with using copyright as a club to achieve them.

Two scientific organizations use copyright law to punish Kansas schools for teaching 'intelligent design.' If anyone else pulled this, copyright activists would be going ape. Commentary by Jennifer Granick.
