Dear Mr. Brown:
Have been enjoying your posts on Huff and Vanity Fair. (And, of
course, your classic "Flock of Dodos"). Hence this note!
I work for the National Center for Science Education (NCSE), the
leading organization that promotes and defends the teaching of
evolution in the public schools. (You might have seen us covered
in the Nova documentary "Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on
Trial". Then again, you may have talked with Genie Scott, our
executive director, a dozen times. In which case, this note is moot!)
We've been involved in the issue for 25 years, and we're a ready
resource should you ever need background information, access to
independent experts (local and national), and more, for any future
jottings you might tackle on evolution, creationism/ID, science
denial, or related topics. There's a lot to talk about in this
realm, notably, the spread of "academic freedom" bills designed to
smuggle creationism back into the classroom (such as the one that
passed in Louisiana), and state boards of education fiddling with
science standards (as we've recently seen in Texas). Well...don't
hesitate to contact us!
Yours,
Robert Luhn
