Dear Friends of NCSE,

A philosophy journal devotes a special issue to the
creationism/evolution controversy. Creationism appears to be at the
center of a new employment discrimination lawsuit. And selected
content from RNCSE 30:4 is now available on NCSE's website, as is a
free preview of Lee Meadows's The Missing Link.

Dear Friends of NCSE,

Victory in the biology textbook adoption process in Louisiana. NCSE's
Grand Canyon trip in 2011. A proposed creationist theme park in
northern Kentucky. Approval of the proposed settlement in the
Freshwater case. And voices for evolution from seven science
departments at colleges and universities across the country.

Dear Friends of NCSE,

Progress toward a settlement in the Freshwater case, a new issue of
Evolution: Education and Outreach, and a free webcast series on
"Evolutionary Christianity."

Dear Friends of NCSE,

A powerful op-ed on the importance of evolution in biological and
biomedical education. A plethora of new videos on NCSE's YouTube
channel, and a chance for Working Assets/Credo Mobile customers to
support NCSE. And calls for Louisiana to approve biology textbooks
despite the objections of creationists.

(by NCSE Deputy Director Glenn Branch)

Dear Friends of NCSE,

Morris Goodman, a pioneer in molecular systematics, is dead. A
cross-complaint in a lawsuit over the cancellation of the screening of
a creationist film, and a possible sign of progress in Louisiana's
textbook approval process. Plus NCSE's Facebook page breaks the
10,000-fan mark.

Dear Friends of NCSE,

Creationists renew their assault on evolution education in Louisiana.
Plus three more museums add their voices for evolution, and a preview
of Brian Switek's Written in Stone.

Dear Friends of NCSE,

The latest addition to NCSE's website: articles in Spanish. And new
praise for Not in Our Classrooms.

Dear Friends of NCSE,

The end of two lawsuits involving a teacher preaching creationism in
the classroom in Mount Vernon, Ohio, is on the horizon. Kudos for
Evolution vs. Creationism from the International Society for Science
and Religion. And news of a webcast on "Molecular Insights into
Classic Examples of Evolution."

(by NCSE Deputy Director Glenn Branch)

Dear Friends of NCSE,

Five years on, New Scientist addresses the aftermath of Kitzmiller v.
Dover. The Supreme Court declines to review ACSI v. Stearns. NCSE's
Glenn Branch, Eugenie C. Scott, and Joshua Rosenau's "Dispatches from
the Evolution Wars" is published in Annual Review of Genomics and
Human Genetics. No fewer than three international organizations of
museums and science centers add their voices for evolution. And NCSE
offers a free excerpt from Edward J. Larson's Summer for the Gods.

Dear Friends of NCSE,

NCSE's Eugenie C. Scott visits Orange County, California; NCSE is
about to visit the nation's capital for the USA Science & Engineering
Festival; and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction revisits,
and reaffirms, its commitment to teaching evolution.
