paleonet GA-Evolution

[Sally Walker <swalker@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

K-12 education in Georgia's is imperiled by Kathy Cox (GA's Secretary of
State) and the Georgia Board of Education that proposes to delete Big
Bang Theory, Plate Tectonics, and Evolution (and many other items!) from
our elementary and highschool curriculum--"negative" subjects that cause
controversy deems Georgia Secretary of State Kathy Cox (see Rich Lane's
posting concerning evolution, where Kathy disses evolution).  To add
your input into educating Kathy Cox--you can sign a petititon
(http://www.PetitionOnline.com/gasci04/petition.html) and also visit the
proposed curriculum revisions and add your input
(www.glc.k12.ga.us/spotlight/gps1.htm  also,
www.glc.k12.ga.us/spotlight/gps2.htm).  Of course, you can also get
online for the Atlanta Journal of Constitution (www.ajc.com) and write a
letter to the editor.  Send Kathy Cox, Georgia Department of Education,
a flurry of Sympathy Cards for her contributions to the death of
education as we know it in the state of Georgia.  Thank you!  Sally
