Posted by Josh Rosenau on February 12, 2011 If you haven’t seen Kansas v. Darwin, the documentary about the Kansas science standards fight from 2005, you can stream it for free from the filmmaker’s website.
Why not invite some friends over, stream the movie, and talk about what you’d all do if it happened in your neck of the woods? NCSE has some resources to help that discussion along. Don’t be afraid to write or call if you want a hand organizing something.
Hmm, and I’m just in the middle of catching up on Nova’s documentary. I guess I’ll watch this next, as I’m heading to KU for a recruitment meeting on Monday. You might have been wayyyy super busy, but I sent you an email about me going there and interested in what the most current biology education affairs are like in Lawrence? And also what life is like there in general.
Thanks,
Carly
