Evolution and Creationism in the Public Schools - A Handbook for Educators, Parents and Community Leaders (Paperback)

In United States public schools, the content being taught in all
subjects is determined by specialists who have the expertise
necessary for the task. Parents don't insist on their opinions
being part of curricular decisions. History, mathematics and
literature classes, for example, generally enjoy full acceptance by
parents and others. The science curriculum, however, is unique in
that it has faced long-time opposition that shows little sign of
lessening. Most notably, a controversy has arisen around biological
evolution. Part history and part handbook, this carefully neutral
work examines the origins of the opposition to biological
evolution, its long and deep-seated history, and the reasons why it
hasn't been resolved. Key terms - including creationism, evolution,
intelligent design, and theory, among others - are defined at
length, and erroneous understandings are addressed. Solutions are
suggested so that the energies of school administrators and
teachers may focus on their main task, the improvement of learning.
State-by-state science standards are covered, and several models
for biological science curricula are offered. Presented in a highly
readable style, this study is intended for use by students,
parents, teachers, school administrators, and community leaders
alike, as well as others interested in the controversy.
