Thanks Wendee. Note that the California listserve should be
CALEVOLVED-L
The "v" got left out through a typo.

Subject: evolution listservs by state
The AIBS (Am. Institute Biological Sciences)- needs people in about half
the states (half are taken) to host a listserv on evolution for
educators. It is to keep abreast of the creationism movements in many
states education systems, and to provide a forum for networking and
discussion.
As a Christian who is also a "evolutionary creationist" I believe that
this is a great opportunity for Christians to have a voice in the list,
because many subscribers might be coming from a "fed up with Christians"
viewpoint. If any of you have the resources to host some of the
listservs, please contact Judith Weis of AIBS at
jweis@andromeda.rutgers.edu <mailto:jweis@andromeda.rutgers.edu>
These can be set up however the listowner likes, and doesn't require any
real time committment. You don't have to monitor anything unless you
want to, just host the site and listen in on whatever conversation
happens.
Sign-up for states with listservs already set up are below (these have
just started, so there aren't many subscribers yet). I run TX. About 50%
of states still need a list!

To ESA members
:
As the president-elect of AIBS, I am undertaking a project to support
the
teaching of evolution in the schools and combat efforts to teach
creationism
in science classes. I'm sure that most of you are aware of the events in
Kansas last year. The scientists and teachers in Kansas are now well
organized and will probably reverse that unfortunate policy. They got
organized after the policy was adopted. Since this is an issue that will
not
go away, we should be well organized in other states in order to prevent
such efforts to undermine science teaching from succeeding. The project
involves the setting up of email listservs in each state, so that
scientists, teachers, and other concerned people can be in touch with
each
other. The listservs can function as support groups for teachers trying
to
teach evolution in a hostile atmosphere. They can also function for
rapid
communications when there are policies being contemplated by school
boards
or state legislatures that require input such as letters or
attendance/testifying at hearings. We are working with the Nat. Center
for
Science Ed on this. What we need first is to have a person in each state
volunteer to be the list manager for that state. There are already list
managers for about half of the states (a couple of which had lists in
place
already) . Their names and email addresses appear below. Some of these
have
already set up their listservs, and the address to write to and message
to
send in order to subscribe are provided. Please subscribe! If your state
has
a contact person, but no list name, please write and encourage them to
get
their listserv set up. If your state does not appear at all, that means
no
one has volunteered to run the listserv. We need you! Usually staff at
the
computer center should know how to set up listservs, and the time
commitment
should not be great, unless there is some urgent issue being debated.
Please
get in touch with me if you are willing to do this for your state.
