I have read some potentially bad news from the skeptic community. Creationism is trying to creep into Texas public schools and the BOE (board of education) will be voting next week on the new science standards. Apparently, the creationists have a slight minority and only need to sway one vote so they can teach their non-science (that's the nicest way I can put that). To say the least, Texas is on the brink of science (educational?) destruction.
But there is hope and you can help!
Go visit: http://teachthemscience.org/texas
There, they will inform you on how you can get involved. If you live in Texas, go to the school board meeting and voice your opinion (that's if you can!). There are other ways to help out if you can't be at the board meeting, for instance, writing an Op/Ed piece in your local paper and so on. The time is now Texas!
