FRAME ALERT

Watch out for this one:

INTELLIGENT DESIGN

this is being used by RadCons (radical conservatives, i.e. right wingnuts) as an "alternative" approach science when teaching evolution. It's an attempt to refute evolution and slip the teaching of creationism in public schools as science. The word "intelligent," is carefully chosen to avoid the use of "god." This neutralizes the frame and makes it seem like it does not have religious roots. The correct frame is bible-based creationism or God-designed. Don't use the RadCon language!
