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.

Dear Friends of NCSE,

Dear Friends of NCSE,

A bill in the Massachusetts legislature would encourage discussion of
creationism in public school science classes, according to a
cosponsor. A useful collection of articles on teaching evolution in
the college classroom is now available on-line. And the Pontifical
Academy of Sciences upholds the scientific and educational importance
of evolution.
