In the News: Internet Activists Donate Science Books to Anti-Evolution School District |
From the article:
----------------------------------------------
An international email group that focuses on opposing the teaching of
intelligent design creationism as science is donating twenty science
books to the Dover High School Library in Dover, Pennsylvania.
An international email group that focuses on opposing the teaching of
intelligent design creationism as science is donating twenty science
books to the Dover High School Library in Dover, Pennsylvania. Dover
became the scene of a legal fight after supporters of "intelligent
design theory" attempted to insert their viewpoint into science
classes. Among the books being donated are "What Evolution Is" by
evolutionary biologist Ernst Mayr, "Intelligent Design Creationism and
Its Critics" by Robert Pennock, and "Finding Darwin's God" by
biologist Kenneth R Miller.

A very nice tactical move in the PR war. I hope the local papers report
it.

And two of the donors are occasional TO posters (Lenny Flank, and
Mikey Brass).

A very, very good idea. I would like to see an organized
campaign to continue this sort of work, targeting school
districts under siege by the "intelligent design" idiots. It
might work even better to give books directly to students,
rather than the school library.
