The Texas Freedom Network, a pro-science education group that is working to prevent states requiring science teachers to question evolution in the classroom, has sent out a newsletter pointing out the efforts of pro-intelligent design groups to work against them:
The far right -- always well-funded -- is already regrouping and looking to reverse our gains. We’ve heard from SBOE members that they are being bombarded with thousands of e-mails from far-right groups like Phyllis Schlafly’s Eagle Forum and the Texas affiliate of James Dobson’s Focus on the Family.
Both sides demonstrate that interest group activity can focus on executive agencies as much as legislative agencies. In fact, executive work may be more important because it has an immediate effect on how law is implemented.
