George Bush and science
Re “Bush Lays Out His Plan to Protect America’s Economic Standing,” April 20
How ironic that President Bush is going through the motions to improve education in math and science when he and his administration so routinely ignore the work of mathematicians and scientists, from the predictions of the effects of a hurricane hitting New Orleans to the mounting evidence of global climate change. Bush is quoted as saying, “There’s no telling what’s going to come out of this.” Whatever comes out of new research, Americans can be sure that Bush will fail to take a leadership position in converting to alternative energy sources, and he won’t pay any attention to research results if they don’t suit his own agenda.
