Re: California: Board OKs Darwin challenge - Alex Branning Responds

So many of the responses to my posts are asking the same questions that
I've already supplied answers to.

1) No, we do not have a new lesson plan for the class - we'll let the
teachers decide how best to educate their students.

2) I have never pretended to be a scientist or teacher - I am a
concerned citizen trying to do something good for our students.

3) Please do not attempt to tie me in with Dover or any other
organization. Integrity in Academics is not a creationist organization
in disguise, we are a group that is attempting to do something for our
students, to raise the dismal test scores and get people interested in
science again.

We are a young organization (as noted in the Valley Press article) and
we have only just begun our journey. The Science Philosophy document
was written by local educators, approved *unanimously* by the local
science teachers and has not received one complaint from any local
citizens.
