Educators/HomeschoolersA Brief Response to the Kansas Board of Education Decision
10/15/1999 On August 11, 1999 the Kansas Board of Education (BOE) voted 6 to 4 to remove macroevolution and big bang cosmology from the state's science curriculum. The newly revised standards supposedly neither ban "Darwinism" nor promote "creationism". Rather, they deny that any single model be used as a "unifying system" of knowledge.

Supreme Court Ruling On The Louisiana Balanced Treatment Act
"It is equally clear that requiring schools to teach creation science with evolution does not advance academic freedom. The Act does not grant teachers a flexibility that they did not already possess to supplant the present science curriculum with the presentation of theories besides evolution, about the origin of life. Explore Evolution: A High School Textbook Review
November 1, 2011 Christian educators often ask for an evenhanded presentation of biological evolution. One book, Stephen C. Meyer’s Explore Evolution: The Arguments for and against Neo-Darwinism (Hill House, 2007), fills this need nicely. Five Reasons Why Christian Educators Should Address Evolution
April 1, 2010 Christian educators, including homeschoolers, frequently ask me whether they should avoid using secular biology textbooks because of the evolutionary content. Here are five reasons why I think a sound biology education must include the use of mainstream (secular) textbooks. From the Trenches: An Additional Response to the Kansas Board of Education Decision
10/15/1999 It would probably be an understatement to say that the Kansas State Board of Education's recent decision on the Kansas Science Education Standards has been widely misunderstood. Many in the mainstream media have attacked the Board for "dumbing down science." Kansas' own governor, Bill Graves, has called it "a tragic, terrible, embarrassing solution to a problem that did not exist." Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Response

Even though he never mentioned intelligent design, many in the media presumed that he endorsed teaching both evolution and intelligent design (ID) in public schools. Supreme Court Rules On Teaching Creationism
1/1/1988 "'Creation Science' Banned in Schools," screamed a Los Angeles Times headline. This banner, typical of hundreds that appeared in newspapers and newsmagazines across the nation, parroted by hundreds more radio and television announcers, gave the distinct impression that the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled against the presenting of any evidence for creation to students in public schools and universities. The Shell Game Of Evolution And Creation
