Glenn Branch, deputy director of the National Center for Science Education, has written a post concerning the forced resignation of Chris Comer, the former director of science curriculum in Texas.
I send a lot of e-mail in the course of the average day, and ordinarily nobody is fired as a result. But I'm not always so lucky.
Branch's post concludes:
...with a constant climate of ignorance of, skepticism about, and hostility toward evolution across the country, it looks as though my colleagues at NCSE and I won’t be out of a job any time soon. So we'll continue to defend the teaching of evolution in the public schools, and to help concerned teachers, parents, and citizens in general to do the same.
We'll keep the e-mails coming, too.
We'll keep the e-mails coming, too.
The new year will undoubtedly bring with it new challenges and new opportunities to support those who defend the teaching of REAL science in public schools.
We'll keep the posts coming, too.
