Teaching Evolution?

Being a science teacher, I am always concerned when science literacy and teachers are being attacked. I suppose this has been going on since the Scopes Trial in the 1920's but the purveyors of anti science, if nothing else, are not quitters. I've also read recently that many of those who home school their children subscribe to the idea creationism and consider the teaching of Darwinism as close to devil worship. Needless to say, teachers of science are considered the anti Christ.
With this in mind I have run across a website that is the perfect resource to help is the need should arise called the National Center for Science Education.

The Center provides:

Reviews of current anti-evolution activity in the United States and around the world
Background to the fundamentally creationist and anti-evolution movement known as "Intelligent Design"
Detailed information on the Creation/Evolution controversy from 1859 to the present
Resources for parents, teachers, school boards, and the general public

Check it out and put this site in your favorites "just in case ".
