A campaign is underway across the US to promote the "critical analysis" of evolution in public school science classrooms. This campaign can also be found under the guises of "teaching the strengths and weaknesses of evolution" or "teaching the controversy about evolution." Promoters of these campaigns claim to be simply "supporting academic freedom."

Unfortunately, these phrases are being used as euphemisms for the notion that the scientific evidence supporting evolution and long-refuted "criticisms" of evolution should be treated equally. Students would be woefully misinformed if they were to be taught that these "criticisms" represent currently-accepted science.

"Stand Up for REAL Science" encourages school districts to reject these long-refuted criticisms of evolution in favor of curriculum standards that represent the viewpoints of the mainstream scientific community.
