Announcing Darwin Day 2010 February 6th!

See the CFI Calendar for more details on Darwin Day 2010

There's trouble in Texas.  CFI Austin has been working to defend science education in Texas.  A large contigency of creationists on the Texas State Board of Education intended to require, or to at least allow, Creationism to be taught in public school science classes.  In this letter to our readers , Clare Wuellner, Executive Director of CFI Austin, explains CFI Austin's efforts, our wins and losses, and what's next for Texas.


The Center for Inquiry Austin and The Clergy Letter Project are pleased to present TeachThemScience.org

These two organizations — one secular, the other religious — have come together to advocate a 21st-Century science education for Texas public schoolchildren. This website is intended to empower parents, educators and other concerned citizens as they explore how evolution is important to all of us and why attacks on evolution have no scientific basis.
