An editorial in the newspaper Charlotte Observer gets it right, then gets it wrong.

The editorial states that "The fundamental issue is intellectual honesty in public education. That's a fight worth fighting." And, so it is.

But, then the editorial goes on to talk about the separation of church and state, and religion vs science.

One of our first goals is to tear down the false dichotomy of science vs faith. We should be discussing and debating how the world really was and is. We should be answering fundamental questions to ascertain which world view is reasonable. If the most reasonable world view, determined from the evidence, includes the supernatural, so be it. Let's fight this false dichotomy.

The last sentence of the editorial compares the Georgia debate to Islamic and Taliban extremists in Iran and Afghanistan.
