    Thanks Wendee. Note that the California listserve should be

    CALEVOLVED-L

    The "v" got left out through a typo.

    Subject: evolution listservs by state

    The AIBS (Am. Institute Biological Sciences)- needs people in about half
    the states (half are taken) to host a listserv on evolution for
    educators. It is to keep abreast of the creationism movements in many
    states education systems, and to provide a forum for networking and
    discussion.
     
    As a Christian who is also a "evolutionary creationist" I believe that
    this is a great opportunity for Christians to have a voice in the list,
    because many subscribers might be coming from a "fed up with Christians"
    viewpoint. If any of you have the resources to host some of the
    listservs, please contact Judith Weis of AIBS at
    jweis@andromeda.rutgers.edu <mailto:jweis@andromeda.rutgers.edu>
    These can be set up however the listowner likes, and doesn't require any
    real time committment. You don't have to monitor anything unless you
    want to, just host the site and listen in on whatever conversation
    happens.
     
    Sign-up for states with listservs already set up are below (these have
    just started, so there aren't many subscribers yet). I run TX. About 50%
    of states still need a list!

    To ESA members
    :
    As the president-elect of AIBS, I am undertaking a project to support
    the
    teaching of evolution in the schools and combat efforts to teach
    creationism
    in science classes. I'm sure that most of you are aware of the events in
    Kansas last year. The scientists and teachers in Kansas are now well
    organized and will probably reverse that unfortunate policy. They got
    organized after the policy was adopted. Since this is an issue that will
    not
    go away, we should be well organized in other states in order to prevent
    such efforts to undermine science teaching from succeeding. The project
    involves the setting up of email listservs in each state, so that
    scientists, teachers, and other concerned people can be in touch with
    each
    other. The listservs can function as support groups for teachers trying
    to
    teach evolution in a hostile atmosphere. They can also function for
    rapid
    communications when there are policies being contemplated by school
    boards
    or state legislatures that require input such as letters or
    attendance/testifying at hearings. We are working with the Nat. Center
    for
    Science Ed on this. What we need first is to have a person in each state
    volunteer to be the list manager for that state. There are already list
    managers for about half of the states (a couple of which had lists in
    place
    already) . Their names and email addresses appear below. Some of these
    have
    already set up their listservs, and the address to write to and message
    to
    send in order to subscribe are provided. Please subscribe! If your state
    has
    a contact person, but no list name, please write and encourage them to
    get
    their listserv set up. If your state does not appear at all, that means
    no
    one has volunteered to run the listserv. We need you! Usually staff at
    the
    computer center should know how to set up listservs, and the time
    commitment
    should not be great, unless there is some urgent issue being debated.
    Please
    get in touch with me if you are willing to do this for your state.
