Join the video contest! On Charles Darwins 200th birthday (Feb. 12, 2009), students everywhere can speak out against censorship and stand up for free speech Join the video contest!

On Charles Darwins 200th birthday (Feb. 12, 2009), students everywhere can speak out against censorship and stand up for free speech by defending the right to debate the evidence for and against evolution. In 2009, lets turn Darwin Day into Academic Freedom Day!
[ http://www.academicfreedomday.com ]

Last spring, Ben Stein [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQPgXA... ] focused the public's attention on the issue of academic freedom on evolution with the hit documentary "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed." [ http://www.expelledthemovie.com ] Now, we want students to outshine Ben by creating their own videos in support of academic freedom.

Discovery Institute is sponsoring a student video and essay contest inspired by Charles Darwins comment that A fair result can be obtained only by fully stating and balancing the facts and arguments on both sides of each question. The contest seeks the best student-created videos and essays that communicate support for academic freedom to explore the evidence for and against Darwinian evolution (for example, an entry might defend the right of teachers to present scientific evidence that challenges Darwinian evolution, or the right of scientists to conduct research about the theory of intelligent design). Entries will be judged based on their creativity, their accuracy, and their persuasiveness. Full details on how to enter the contest are online at www.academicfreedomday.com.

Across the country academic freedom on evolution is being trampled every day. Scientific research challenging Darwinism is thwarted. Teachers trying to discuss these challenges with their students are censored. Even students are subject to harassment and prejudice for expressing views that are skeptical of Darwinism. Scientists, educators, students need your help to protect their academic freedom rights.

Next year is the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin, and the 150th anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species. As you can imagine Darwinists have a full year of celebrations planned and February 12th, Darwins birthday, is likely to be the high water mark for most of those celebrations.

We hope youll have celebrations of your own, celebrations that will help to promote academic freedom in line with the words of Darwin himself: "A fair result can be obtained only by fully balancing the facts and argument on both sides of the each question."
