Archived audio of my interview with radio station WGCU’s Gulf Coast Live radio show is now available for your listening pleasure. Let me know how you think I did.
A new book published by the University Press of Florida entitled, “Going Ape: Florida’s Battles over Evolution in the Classroom” looks at Florida’s place in a long-fought cultural battle over whether schools should be teaching Evolution as fact—and whether Creationism should also have a place in the state’s textbooks.
Brandon Haught is the author of “Going Ape.” Haught is a former Marine Corps combat correspondent and current public information officer with the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office. He’s also a founding board member and volunteer communications director for Florida Citizens for Science—a group that describes its work as “rooting out attempts to undermine our state’s future, such as the blatant promotion of anti-scientific ideas, Intelligent Design/Creationism.”
