Controversy: The Players:

The National Center for Science Education: http://ncseweb.org/

A major backer for science education.

The National Center for Science Education, founded in 1981, engages in a number of activities advancing two primary goals: improving and supporting education in evolution and the nature of science, and increasing public understanding of these subjects. This work is supported primarily by membership contributions, with some additional assistance from grants.

NCSE provides information and guidance to citizens faced with local creationist challenges:

• Expert testimony for school board hearings

• Advice on how to organize, including referrals to others who have faced similar problems

• Information (including article reprints) on evolution, "creation science", and the evolution/creation controversy
