Teach Them Science is a joint project of the Clergy Letter Project and the Center for Inquiry in support of REAL science in Texas public schools.
The message is one that we all can get behind:
UNLESS YOU HELP
The Texas State Board of Education (SBOE) will soon determine the science curriculum standards that will be in place for the next ten years. An SBOE-appointed committee of teachers and scientists has drafted new standards, which they recommended that the SBOE adopt to give students in Texas a 21st century science education.
However, nearly half of the SBOE hold worldviews that are at odds with the recommended standards. To sway children towards their worldview, they prefer that the standards teach rhetorical arguments against evolution. These false arguments have no basis in science and actually teach students to think unscientifically.
If you are a Texas resident, go here to find out how you can get involved.
