Dear Friends of NCSE,

The Baton Rouge Advocate endorses the effort to repeal Louisiana's
antievolution law. NCSE's Eugenie C. Scott is named as the Rosenblatt
Lecturer at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography for 2013. A
proposed revision to the British national curriculum would eliminate
any discussion of climate change at the primary level. And a bill to
repeal the antievolution law in Louisiana is prefiled -- will the
third time be the charm?
