this controversy were presented at the AAAS annual meeting that was held in
San Francisco from Thursday of last week through Tuesday of this week.
I published a commentary on the issue entitled "Science Teaching as a
Subversive Activity", and also one on "Science Education and the Dilemma of
High-Stakes Testing". They can be found at:

In Kansas the scholastic material selectors are gracefully
reconsidering the evolution doctrine and permitting the
selection of texts dealing with evolutionary theory,
or so I hear on NPR.
