Good Grief

"Earlier this month the Georgia Department of Education released drafts
of the future science standards for K-12 education
(www.georgiascience.org.). The GADOE has intentionally weakened
American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) standards by
removing any mention of evolution, common descent, the big bang, or the
true age of the earth. This antagonism towards good science is now
threatening the future of Georgia’s students and Georgia’s economy.
Reed Cartwright from UGA has started an online petition to GADOE. If
you would like to sign a petition to encourage GADOE to use all of the
AAAS benchmarks, you can do so here."
