I am proud to announce that organizations are now coming forward in support of the new draft of the state science standards.<\/p>\n

The members of the framing and writing committees who created these great science standards sent their own letter<\/a> to the Board of Education defending the inclusion of evolution.<\/p>\n

The American Institute of Biological Sciences released a letter<\/a> in support of the science standards.<\/p>\n

Americans United for Separation of Church and State also released a letter<\/a> in support of the standards.<\/p>\n

The Florida Academy of Sciences<\/a> presented a supporting resolution at Monday’s public forum meeting in Orlando. I called their office today to confirm they had a resolution, and I was told they would send me a copy tomorrow. I’ll post it as soon as I can.
