Wisconsin Academics Decry Move to Water Down Darwin

Science, 12 November, p. 1113，2004

Wisconsin academics are rallying to reverse a decision last month by a local school board that would require students to "study various scientific models/theories of origins" rather than stick with Darwinian theory only.

The Grantsburg school board's action spurred Michael Zimmerman, dean of the College of Letters and Sciences at the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh, to organize a flurry of letter writing by hundreds of scientists and theologians from universities around the state as well as high school science teachers. "We want to send as a strong a message as we can," says Zimmerman. Although Wisconsin state standards mandate the teaching of evolution, the board contends that the district has a right to make the standards more "inclusive."

Last month, the Dover Area School Board in Pennsylvania approved the teaching of "intelligent design" (Science, 5 November, p. 971). And a trial over an evolution "disclaimer" in textbooks is under way in Georgia. Says Eugenie Scott of the National Center for Science Education in Oakland, California: "After last Tuesday there are a lot of happy creationists around the country."
