Brian Allen: "Condoleezza Rice just went on Fox & Friends and dismantled Trump’s war on universities and scientific research. When even Bush’s Secretary of State is side-eyeing your assault on knowledge and education, you’ve officially crossed into uncharted stupidity. This isn’t left vs. right anymore; it’s reality vs. whatever paranoid fantasy TrumpWorld is cooking up next."

FACT : 100 years ago a Tennessee grand jury indicted science teacher John Scopes for violating the state’s law making it a crime “to teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals."

The life-or-death question for "science" now is whether we have the means and methods to win public attention and bring any political energy to bear. As far as I can tell the #WarOnScience is registering as a news blip -- not quite nothing, but too far down the attention/priority list to matter.
