Teaching Evolution

The New York Times has a good article on one Florida teacher's struggles to teach evolution. The biology teacher, David Campbell, is shown to be quite knowledgeable about the subject (which I guess a biology teacher should be) and quick witted with answers. He's tactical as well about the subject with his students who are from a conservative community significantly influenced by religion. Campbell has also been an activist working with other teachers to get the state of Florida to have stronger standards for teaching evolution.

More power to David Campbell! He's definitely making a positive contribution to life.
