RE: Georgia Evolution Revolution:  For those in the US, you can tune
into National Public Radio's "All Things Considered" Feb 3 to hear about
the debate (see note below).  For those in Australia or elsewhere, and
are mildly curious, you can go to NPR's web site for transcripts (when
available): http://www.npr.org.

Don't forget, after "Hume-ing and hawing" and "Kant-ing and raving" (in
a jocular sense), please pick up the pen and write Kathy Cox, Georgia
State Superintendent of Schools, 2066 Twin Towers East, Atlanta, GA USA
30334; fax: 404-651-8737
(http://www.doe.k12.ga.us/doe/superintendent/index.asp).  Kindly educate
her about the value of  evolution.  Thanks a trillion (or the equivalent
of the US deficit)!  Sally Walker, University of Georgia, Dept. of
Geology

3, 2004
                                  In Georgia, the superintendent of
schools backs a proposal to
                                  remove the word "evolution" from the
state's science curriculum.
                                  The omission, intended to avoid
disputes in conservative
                                  communities, is stirring debate --
Georgia's governor and former
                                  President Jimmy Carter have both
weighed in. We look at
                                  evolution's place in education.

                                   The audio for this program will be
available at approximately 7:30PM ET,
                                   4:30PM PT.
