Tell Florida Lawmakers: End the War on Science!

Florida's lawmakers are declaring a war on science. They're pushing a bill that would promote Creationism by requiring teachers to pretend that evolution is still an unsettled theory. Educators would be forced to provide "[a] thorough presentation and critical analysis of the scientific theory of evolution."

If the proposal sounds innocuous to you, here's some background on the lead sponsor and his real agenda. This is what he said to WMNF radio:

Why do we still have apes if we came from them? And those are the kind of questions kids need to ask themselves. You know, 'How did we get here?' And, you know, there's more than one theory on this thing. And the theory is evolution, the other one is intelligent design.

Don't let Florida turn its back on science: Will you tell your lawmakers to fight back?

PETITION TO MY STATE LEGISLATORS: It's an embarrassment to our state that Florida lawmakers are still trying to teach Creationism in our public schools. I urge you to fight back against this war on science and oppose bill SB 1854.

Just sign on at right and we'll automatically send an email to your state legislators.
