GCISE APPLAUDS COBB COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION
Marietta, GA—Georgia Citizens for Integrity in Science Education (GCISE) commends the action taken by members of the Cobb County Board of Education in dropping any further actions associated with the case Selman et al. vs. Cobb County School District and Cobb County Board of Education. This case resulted from the decision made in 2002 by the School Board to place stickers in science textbooks questioning the status of evolution as a scientific theory.
“The action taken by the Board means that limited resources can be directed to where they have always belonged, in the classroom” said GCISE secretary and Professor Ron Matson. “It further ensures that the Cobb County science curriculum meets the Georgia Performance Standards and that students will understand the central role evolution plays in all biological sciences.”
As an organization dedicated to promoting scientific literacy, GCISE looks forward to working with members of the Board of Education in helping to improve science education throughout Cobb County schools.
