THE SAVE OUR SCHOOLS (SOS) CAMPAIGN FOR SCIENCE EDUCATION
http://www.campusfreethought.org/sos

The Save Our Schools (SOS) Campaign is an Internet-based petition drive urging state boards of education to uphold the teaching of evolution, and other sciences threatened by the recent attacks from creationists. The Campus Freethought Alliance (CFA), a network of college student groups across the U.S. and Canada, is the chief sponsor of the campaign. Numerous other national organizations have signed the petition or assisted the campaign, including Americans United for Separation of Church and State, The American Geophysical Union, Freedom to Read Foundation, Freedom From Religion Foundation, Kansas Citizens for Science, Americans for Religious Liberty, and CSICOP. In addition to a massive online petition drive, electronic and print resources have been distributed to CFA campus groups and individual student members, urging them to engage in pro-evolution activities in their communities. A number of campus groups are hosting lectures by Massimo Pigliucci, professor of evolutionary biology at the University of Tennessee. Just before Charles Darwin's birthday on February 12, 2000, collected petition signatures will be submitted to all 50 U.S. State boards and departments of education. To sign the petition or get involved in the campaign, visit http://www.campusfreethought.org/sos or contact CFA Coordinator Amanda Chesworth at 1-800-446-6198 ext. 223.
