State of Reason
Gary Stern, a reporter for the The Journal News, a newspaper serving Westchester, Rockland and Putnam Counties in New York writes that "Charles Darwin may be on the run in statehouses and classrooms across America, not to mention a federal courthouse in Harrisburg, Pa. But in the public schools of New York state, he is still openly revered by educators who champion the scientific method."
As the article indicates New York school districts and educators are already planning a formidable defense of reason there. Educators and parents in other states that value education should follow New York's example and begin to prepare, rather than wait and be put on the defensive.
