Dear friends of NCSE,

A bill targeting the Next Generation Science Standards is introduced
in Michigan, and climate is the reason. A survey assesses the
attitudes of Ohioans to climate change. The Kansas Republican Party
adopts a resolution opposing the NGSS, while Kentucky's largest
newspaper applauds the state's decision to adopt the NGSS. And in the
pages of BioScience, NCSE's Glenn Branch urges biologists to help to
defend the teaching of climate science.

Dear friends of NCSE,

The Next Generation Science Standards are adopted in Kentucky -- but
for a moment it looked as though they might not be. A new poll
addresses public opinion on climate among Californians. Textbooks are
under attack by science deniers in Texas. And California is the sixth
state to adopt the Next Generation Science Standards.
