I was thinking the exact same thing. Well, as long as they teach "alternative, competing theories" like a mystical being, wholly unknown to us except through prayer, intersceded during the Triassic period to create an irreducibly complex eye, and then went back to his own business, then everything should be just fine.

Submission + - Free tuition for Math, Science, and Engineering? (billingsgazette.net)

Gibbs-Duhem writes: Sen. Max Baucus (Dem from MT) wants free college tuition for US math, science, and engineering majors conditional upon working or teaching in the field for at least four years.

It's difficult to see anything that pumps money into education as a bad thing, but is this the best way to help the country create a more stable, educated workforce to compete with India, China, and Canada? It certainly seems that the "trickle-down" effect could help high school education as well, as more graduates look to teaching as a way to repay their debt to society.
