Evolution and Education
Wednesday, February 14, 2007
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Edward Humes examines the controversy that erupted when intelligent design was added to the high school curriculum in Dover, Pennsylvania. In Monkey Girl, he looks at how the local school board’s decision turned into a federal case, and talks about the significance of the trial.
Jennifer Miller, a high school biology teacher from Dover, joined us in April 2006 to talk about her fight to keep intelligent design out of her classroom. Listen to the interview.
