August 9, 2004

“Toto, There’s No Science in Kansas Anymore”
Should politicians change scientific standards to appease religious constituents?

Today we give THE INSIDE SCOOP on the plot of religious conservatives to hijack education in the State of Kansas and the nationwide campaign to teach the Bible as science
Guests: Jack Krebs, public school teacher and Vice President of Kansas Citizens for Science, and Nick Matzke, Public Information Project Specialist for the National Center for Science Education.

    Great show! Of the many cultural exports from the U.S. that we up here in Canada would rather do without, creationism is right near the top of the list. People who want to join the fight to oppose stealth religious campaigns posing as science education in public schools, a person couldn’t do better than to support and join the National Center for Science Education.
