      The NYT had a little editorial congratulating the town on coming to their senses.

      Anyway, mucking around on the fringes, we’re still screwed … it’s just that the flow of crap has slowed a bit for now.

      Thanks for posting this. I heard the SciFri podcast but had no idea of the outcome. Great to see the community took responsibility for educating their kids in this way.

      BTW, David Slusher, you’re a smartass. :-)

      Natural selection, indeed! Had me in stitches for a few minutes.
