on Science Standards Review Panel

Two Authored Anti-Evolution Textbook, Presenting Serious Conflicts of Interest

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

October 15, 2008

AUSTIN - Texas Freedom Network President Kathy Miller today sharply criticized the inclusion of three strident evolution opponents, including two authors of an anti-evolution textbook, on a panel that will review proposed new science curriculum standards for Texas public schools. The inclusion of the two textbook authors raises serious questions about conflicts of interest and whether political agendas took priority over giving Texas students a 21st-century science education, Miller said.

“It’s simply stunning that any state board members would even consider appointing authors of an anti-evolution textbook to a panel of scientists,” she said. “Are they coming here to help write good science standards or to drum up a market for their lousy textbook?”

3. Why do they hate science?

On a scale of most important things are children need to learn - math and science are the top two subjects. And I mean real science not religious fantasy.
