From the National Academies: teaching the science of evolution.

Abstract

This article differs from our past columns in Cell Biology Education. Rather than providing an overview of selected education activities at the Academies, this article focuses on the Academies' efforts to address challenges to the teaching of evolution in the nation's public schools. We describe the nature of the problem and how we have joined with others in the life and physical science communities to confront it. We also point out what you can do, if and when similar challenges emerge where you live.
