The Gay Animal Kingdom Should Now Be Required Reading

From the "we'll never read about this kind of thing in the New World Order" file - "high school English honors teacher, Dan DeLong... was suspended for offering students the Seed magazine article "The Gay Animal Kingdom" by Jonah Lehrer as an optional extra credit assignment." He has now been reinstated - but it raises to mind what turns out to be a theme for today's issue, the confusion between science and mysticism in the public mind, and the attendant fall of the learned and democratic society we enjoy today.
