Dear Friends of NCSE,

A quick correction to today's evolution education update.

CORRECTION

The update for November 20, 2009, gave the wrong URL for Randy Olson's
video "The Kirk Cameron Action Kit," responding to the recent campaign
to distribute copies of Darwin's Origin of Species with a "special
introduction" by creationist Ray Comfort.
