PUBLIC DEBATE: MONDAY, APRIL 3RD
Ok, so this is yet another presentation about intelligent design and education. But this time, there's pizza! Can't be all bad, right? (I'm talking about the pizza of course...)
SHOULD THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FUND SCHOOLS TEACHING INTELLIGENT DESIGN?
What place do theories of origin have in US public schools? Should the federal government restrict funding of religious curricula? The U of MN Parliamentary Debate Society will address these tough questions on Monday, April 3rd, as part of The College of Biological Sciences' Bioethics 2006. Arguing for federal funding of Intelligent Design programs will be Vance Whitaker and UMPDS debater Tom Meyer. Whitaker is a Research Assistant in the department of Horticultural Science, and Tom Meyer is a junior majoring in neuroscience. Arguing against federal funding will be UMPDS debater Rebecca Mitchell and a speaker from the College of Biological Sciences (to be announced). Mitchell is a junior in the U of MN pre-med program. The debate will be preceded by a speech on medical ethics by Dr. Steven Miles, at 5 pm. Miles is a practicing physician and professor of medicine at the U of MN Medical School. He has served as President of the American Association of Bioethics, and has been awarded the Distinguished Service Award of the American Society of Bioethics and Humanities. Come to a riveting discussion of these important and controversial questions. Audience participation is encouraged, and pizza and pop will be served. Monday, April 3 at 5 pm in Moos Tower 2-690.
