: Dispatches from the Culture WarsComer Appeals Verdict in Wrongful Termination Suit
By Ed Brayton
Chris Comer, the former director of science for the Texas Education Agency who was forced to resign merely for forwarding an email about an upcoming talk by Barbara Forrest, has appealed the district court verdict in that case. The district court granted summary judgment for the defendants in the case earlier this year. You can read her appeal here (PDF).
The Texas Education Agency forced Comer to resign after she sent around an email announcing a talk by Barbara Forrest about evolution and creationism. The TEA "requires, as agency policy, neutrality when talking about evolution and creationism." That is an absolutely ridiculous policy, especially since schools in Texas can't even legally teach creationism.
