Action Alert: Back Darwin Day in the Senate

"Today is historic! The Secular Coalition for America is proud to announce that for the first time, a Darwin Day Resolution has been introduced in the Senate. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) introduced S Res 66 today. Among other things, this resolution:

• States that evolution “provides humanity with a logical and intellectually compelling explanation for the diversity of life on Earth”
• Demands that the “advancement of science be protected from those unconcerned with the adverse impacts of global warming and climate change”
• Confirms that the “teaching of creationism in some public schools compromises the scientific and academic integrity of the United States’ education systems”

With recent studies showing a growing disconnect between scientists and the public, increasing and promoting scientific literacy is a critical priority. Please write to your senators today and urge them to sign on to S Res 66 today and affirm their commitment to science and scientific knowledge...."
