Barbara Forrest Profile
Debra Lemoine has written a profile of Barbara Forrest and her work on the Dover intelligent design case in The Advocate:
When a federal judge in Pennsylvania banned public schoolteachers from offering intelligent design as an alternative theory to evolution last week, he relied heavily on the work of a Southeastern Louisiana University professor and Hammond native.
A proponent and product of Hammond public schools, philosophy Professor Barbara Forrest says her work to debunk intelligent design stems from her desire to protect the integrity of public education.
"It's because of the good education I got in the public schools here that I am able to
do what I do," she said.
