Welcome to the Internet home of Florida Citizens for Science. We are a diverse group of concerned parents, educators, employers and just about everything else under the Florida sun united in a common cause. We defend and promote good science, especially in the public school classroom. Our current focus is on defending our brand new state science standards and helping to implement them across Florida. But we also take an active role in rooting out attempts to undermine our state's future, such as the blatant promtion of anti-scientific ideas, Intelligent Design/Creationsim being the standard one. We've seen how distracting and costly fights can be once anti-science establishes a toe-hold in an area. Headlines in Kansas, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Ohio attest to this. Our self-assigned task is to be vigilant and take action before narrow ideologies get too much traction in Florida. Please consider joining Florida Citizens for Science. We need eyes and ears in every corner of this state. And we need people willing to stand up for sound science in the face of boisterous snake-oil salesmen. Regardless of how much time and effort you are willing to give, we would be happy to welcome you aboard!
