The mandate to teach the theory of evolution and evolution-related concepts in biology and other appropriate science classes in public schools is relatively clear in 31 states and the District of Columbia. In the most recent state legislative sessions, some legislators made attempts to use the legislative processes to restrict the teaching of evolution or mandate teaching of non-scientific explanations of the origin of species and the universe. This paper follows the efforts of science educators who challenged these legislative actions through the use of public media. (MVL)
