World Backlash Against Efforts to Conceal the Facts of Evolution to Students

This has been blogged several times in the last couple of days, but I wanted to do my part to spread the word:

The world's top science academies have called on parents and teachers to provide facts about evolution.
Wednesday's declaration was signed by 67 national academies of science, including the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, Britain's Royal Society and the Royal Society of Canada.

"In various parts of the world,within science courses taught in certain public systems of education, scientific evidence, data and testable theories about the origins and evolution of life on Earth are being concealed, denied or confused with theories not testable by science," the declaration said.

Let me give you that last sentence again, and please read it very carefully: "...scientific evidence, data and testable theories about the origins and evolution of life on Earth are being concealed, denied or confused with theories not testable by science"....Sounds like the first goals of Intelligent Design and Creationism to me. Keep the students from understanding the facts of evolution and then you can slip something else in the back door.

Here's the full statement and list of signing organizations.
