Baton Rouge, LA, September 28, 2009 — On September 16, the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) ignored the recommendations of science education professionals in the Louisiana Department of Education (DOE) and allowed the Louisiana Family Forum (LFF), a Religious Right lobbying group, to dictate the procedure concerning complaints about creationist supplementary materials used in public school science classes under the 2008 Louisiana Science Education Act (LSEA). At BESE’s September 16 Student/School Performance and Support (SSPS) Committee meeting, DOE presented recommendations foragain tricked or improperly used interviews from scientists for another pro-creation movie. The DVD titled, Darwin's Dilemma, "features interviews with leading evolutionary paleontologists such as Simon Conway Morris of Cambridge University and James Valentine of the University of California at Berkeley..." However, Valentine says he was tricked and Conway Morris says he never gave them an interview nor gave them rights to any interview. It wasn't enough that the tricked Valentine but apparently since they couldn't interview Conway Morris they decided to fake the interview with Conway Morris. Further in Switek's article he quotes from an "ID the Future" podcast that was conducted with the producer who comes off like the typical creationist moron.
