If you are interested in the proposed "academic freedom bill" in the
legislature, you should be if you are teaching arts, social sciences,
history, literature...other subjects are not targeted, although one can
imagine a single student objecting to evolution in a biology class without
equal time to creationism, or a law of physics rather than God's law in an
engineering course. You can find out more about this growing national
movement by looking at their web site:

http://www.studentsforacademicfreedom.org/


On this website is their 71 page Student Handbook with advice about
organizing, publicity, press releases, and in Appendix D a Complaint Form
for filing violations. Do not take this lightly; if the
legislation becomes law, you will have to worry about introducing new and
possibly controversial ideas in your classes that may create a "hostile
environment" if a student so feels. Note the leading questions in the
complaint form.
