On August 9, 2005 the Associated Press reported, "Echoing similar comments from President Bush, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said 'intelligent design' should be taught in public schools alongside evolution.
Frist, R-Tenn., spoke to a Rotary Club meeting Friday and told reporters afterward that students need to be exposed to different ideas, including intelligent design.
'I think today a pluralistic society should have access to a broad range of fact, of science, including faith,' Frist said. Frist, a doctor who graduated from Harvard Medical School, said exposing children to both evolution and intelligent design 'doesn't force any particular theory on anyone. I think in a pluralistic society that is the fairest way to go about education and training people for the future.'"
