Florida Citizens for Science board member and biology teacher David Campbell is in New York tonight to talk about the teaching of evolution<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Join CFI [Center for Inquiry] 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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
