Who would have thought that defending science would ever become a vital political issue? Science has brought health, prosperity, security and enlightenment to the American people. Yet, in the last few decades, groups of extremists have launched a campaign to undermine science and make scientific research subservient to political agendas and religious doctrines.
Since George W. Bush took office as President of the United States, the White House has done everything in its power to attack the integrity of scientific research. Eager to please the fringe elements of the Religious Right, Republican politicians have demanded that scientific studies be rewritten to fit with "conservative" political theories. When government scientists have complained of such activities, they've been fired. Funding for research has been slashed at the same time that government funding for anti-religious advocacy groups has skyrocketed.
The result has been that radical religious sects have declared open "war" on science. In Kansas, they're replacing biology classes with religious indoctrination courses. Pseudoscience is replacing the real thing. The voices of Americans who know the difference are being drowned out by the unison voice of true believers.
Yes, science needs defending very badly. The values of reason, mental discipline, and fact-based action are in danger of disappearing in America, so we made the following bumper stickers, shirts, and other items to help you stand up for the place of science in a healthy American republic.
