NCSE Evolution and Climate Education Update for 2014/04/25

(by NCSE Deputy Director Glenn Branch)

Dear friends of NCSE,

The effort to repeal the so-called Louisiana Science Education Act
failed again. New, and disturbing, poll results about public
confidence in science. Editorialists in Wyoming are irate about the
state government's derailing the adoption of the Next Generation
Science Standards over climate. The New York Times surveys the state
of climate change education around the globe. And a Darwin Day bill
dies in the Hawaiian legislature.


NCSE Evolution and Climate Education Update for 2014/04/18

(by NCSE Deputy Director Glenn Branch)

Dear friends of NCSE,

The Association for Science Teacher Education adds its voice for
evolution. Plus the situation with Wyoming's state science standards
is still in flux. And a reminder about NCSE's YouTube channel.

NCSE Evolution and Climate Education Update for 2014/04/11

(by NCSE Deputy Director Glenn Branch)

Dear friends of NCSE,

Harris issues a new poll including results on global climate change.
The South Carolina House of Representatives rejects a bill with a
reference to the Sixth Day of Creation. NCSE is pleased to offer a
preview of Michael L. Bender's Paleoclimate. The South Carolina Senate
votes to incorporate a reference to the Sixth Day of Creation in a
bill designating the official state fossil. And the second of
Oklahoma's two antiscience bills for 2014 dies in committee.

NCSE Evolution and Climate Education Update for 2014/04/04

(by NCSE Deputy Director Glenn Branch)

Dear friends of NCSE,

NCSE's Eugenie C. Scott receives NSTA's Distinguished Service to
Science Education Award. NCSE's Minda Berbeco, Mark McCaffrey, Eric
Meikle, and Glenn Branch address the issue of teaching controversies
in the science classroom in the pages of The Science Teacher. Brian
Alters, the president of NCSE's board of directors, is profiled in the
Orange County Register. And a new issue of Reports of the NCSE, a new
milestone for NCSE on Facebook, and a new honor for Kenneth R. Miller.

NCSE Evolution and Climate Education Update for 2014/03/28

(by NCSE Deputy Director Glenn Branch)

Dear friends of NCSE,

A new honor for the young activist Zack Kopplin, but a defeat for a
bill that would remove Louisiana's Balanced Treatment Act, ruled to be
unconstitutional in 1987, from the state's statute books.

NCSE Evolution and Climate Education Update for 2014/03/21

(by NCSE Deputy Director Glenn Branch)

Dear friends of NCSE,

The state's largest newspaper reacts editorially to Wyoming's decision
not to adopt the NGSS. One of the antievolution bills in Missouri
advances. There's a settlement in a Louisiana case involving a
sixth-grade teacher's advocacy of creationism. And Wyoming blocks the
adoption of the NGSS partly because of their treatment of global
climate change.

NCSE Evolution and Climate Education Update for 2014/03/14

(by NCSE Deputy Director Glenn Branch)

Dear friends of NCSE,

The Louisiana legislature takes a step toward repealing the
creationist bill it enacted in 1981, while a Darwin Day bill is
introduced in the Hawaii legislature. The Baton Rouge Advocate
reaffirms its endorsement of the proposed repeal of the so-called
Louisiana Science Education Act of 2008. And NCSE attains its 40,000th
Facebook fan.

NCSE Evolution and Climate Education Update for 2014/03/07

(by NCSE Deputy Director Glenn Branch)

Dear friends of NCSE,

A step forward for the remaining antiscience bill in Oklahoma. And sad
news of the death of Bernard Winograd.


NCSE Evolution and Climate Education Update for 2014/02/28

(by NCSE Deputy Director Glenn Branch)

Dear friends of NCSE,

A bill to repeal Louisiana's 2008 antievolution law is introduced. One
antiscience bill is dead in Oklahoma. NCSE's Eugenie C. Scott receives
a lifetime achievement award from CFI and CSI. A bill to repeal
Louisiana's 1981 antievolution law is introduced. And a preview of New
Trends in Earth-Science Outreach and Engagement -- featuring NCSE's
Minda Berbeco and Mark McCaffrey.

NCSE Evolution and Climate Education Update for 2014/02/21

(by NCSE Deputy Director Glenn Branch)

Dear friends of NCSE,

Public opinion about climate change and about evolution is canvassed
in the National Science Board's Science and Engineering Indicators for
2014. A second antievolution bill surfaces, or resurfaces, in
Oklahoma, but in South Carolina there is reportedly a withdrawal of
opposition to evolution in the state science standards. A new issue of
Reports of the NCSE is available on-line. The National Association of
Biology Teachers registers its opposition to the (first) antievolution
bill in Oklahoma. And sad news of the death of Aykut Kence.
