Voices of Reason: Evolution in the Classroom
May 06, 2009
Join CFI to scrutinize the real state of the teaching of evolution in American classrooms-the forbidden "E" word not as it is portrayed in courtrooms, churches and the media but as it taught-or not taught-by teachers intimidated by the Religious Right to students who may arrive in class believing in the literal story of Genesis. The panel will include David Campbell, a Florida biology teacher profiled in The New York Times (August 24, 2008); Jose Maldonado, principal of Columbia Secondary School for Math, Science, and Engineering and an adjunct professor of science education at Teachers College, Columbia University; and our own Matthew LaClair, President of CFI-On Campus and a strong advocate for church-state separation in the classroom. The discussion will be moderated by CFI-NYC program director Susan Jacoby, and a booksigning for the post-election paperback edition of her bestseller The Age of American Unreason will follow.
