After a series of very strange stories on New Mexico's proposed House Bill 302 (see my earlier report for bill text and comments), Rep. Thomas Anderson's House Bill 302 was tabled on a 5-to-4 vote in the NM House Education committee this morning.
The local Intelligent Design group wasn't nearly as humble, having posted text almost identical to HB 302 for years on their "OriginsEducation" website.
Oh yeah - there was also IDNet's full-page ad in Monday's Albuquerque Journal.
The word from Santa Fe is that sponsor Anderson is now regretting getting involved with the bill - and perhaps is feeling he was "left in the lurch" by IDNet-NM.
NMSR's page has links to stories and news videos here, and a chart of the bill's five-year-long evolution here.
