Dear Friends of NCSE,

Speculations and recommendations about the creationist bill in
Indiana; the (partial) return of evolution to Science and Engineering
Indicators; and the advent of Darwin Day and Evolution Weekend.

(by NCSE Deputy Director Glenn Branch)

Dear Friends of NCSE,

The Indiana Senate passes the creationist bill. Evolution matters when
Fordham rates the states for their science standards. And a reminder
about Darwin Day and Evolution Weekend.

(by NCSE Deputy Director Glenn Branch)

Dear Friends of NCSE,

Bills, bills, bills. Indiana's creation science bill passes through
committee; Leslie Brunetta argues that antievolution bills are bad for
your health; opposition to Indiana's creationist bill comes from a
variety of perspectives; the St. Louis Beacon sheds further light on
Missouri's "intelligent design" bill; and a new bill in Oklahoma
attacks both evolution and climate science. And a reminder that Darwin
Day is on its way.

(by NCSE Deputy Director Glenn Branch)

Dear Friends of NCSE,

Big news from NCSE, with the launch of a new initiative aimed at
defending the teaching of climate change. Plus a reminder that Darwin
Day approaches, and a revealing comment from the sponsor of one of
Missouri's two antievolution bills.

Dear Friends of NCSE,

NCSE files a friend-of-the-court brief in the Freshwater case. Two
antievolution bills in Missouri: one that would encourage teachers to
emphasize "the scientific strengths and scientific weaknesses" of
evolution and one that would require equal time for "intelligent
design" in the state's schools and universities. Protestant pastors in
the United States reject evolution, according to a survey conducted by
the research arm of the Southern Baptist Convention. Over a third of
K-12 educators who teach about climate change have been influenced to
teach "both sides," according to a NESTA survey. And a reminder about
NCSE's Grand Canyon expedition in 2012.

Dear Friends of NCSE,

The eminent geneticist James F. Crow is dead. Plus the Fort Wayne
Journal Gazette criticizes Indiana's creation science bill, and the
Granite Geek revisits the antievolution bills in New Hampshire's
legislature.

(by NCSE Deputy Director Glenn Branch)

Dear Friends of NCSE,

A new creationist bill in Indiana, and more on the two antievolution
bills in New Hampshire. Plus a new issue of Evolution: Education and
Outreach.

(by NCSE Deputy Director Glenn Branch)

Dear Friends of NCSE,

Two antievolution bills surface in the Granite State. And a new issue
of RNCSE for your reading pleasure.

Dear Friends of NCSE,

John Freshwater appeals his termination as a middle school science
teacher. A county school superintendent in Kentucky blasts evolution
-- and the state education commissioner replies. And the Turkish
government is accused of censoring a website on evolution.

Dear Friends of NCSE,

A preview of Richard Dawkins's The Magic of Reality, a reflection by
Steve Jones on creationism in British higher education, and
creationism in a case going to trial in California.
