Schiavo-like Woman in Recovery Miracle

I am trying to drop the Schiavo thing... but I have to at least mention this.

Schiavo-like Woman in Recovery Miracle

A severely brain-damaged Kansas woman who couldn't talk or feed herself after a car accident two years ago has inexplicably regained those abilities, confounding the predictions of doctors.

brain injury that left her speechless and unable to feed herself for 20 years.

Scantlin is now able to eat on her own and answer questions from

Science textbooks are riddled with junk science, but they're always politically correct, writes
Pamela Winnick in the Weekly Standard.

Thus, a chapter on climate in a fifth-grade science textbook in the
Discovery Works series, published by Houghton Mifflin (2000), opens with a
Native American explanation for the changing seasons: "Crow moon is the name
given to spring because that is when the crows return. April is the month of
Sprouting Grass Moon." Students meander through three pages of Algonquin lore
before they learn that climate is affected by the rotation and tilt of Earth —
not by the return of the crows.
