NATIONAL SCIENCE SUPERVISORS ASSOCIATION
Position Paper on the Teaching of Creationism in the Science Curriculum
The National Science Supervisors Association is opposed to the teaching of "creationism" in the science curricula of the nation's schools. Creationism, and other pseudo-sciences, are premised upon supernatural explanations of natural phenomena and therefore are outside the realm of science.
We therefore stand with such organizations as the National Association
of Biology Teachers, the Council of State Science Supervisors, the National
Science Teachers Association, the National Academy of Sciences, and the
American Association for the Advancement of Science in opposing the inclusion
of such pseudo-sciences in the science curricula of the schools of the
nation.
Adopted 5 April, 1990. The National Science Supervisors Association has since changed its name to National Science Education Leadership Association
