	Civic Center, San Francisco
		San Francisco's Civic Center is an area of a few blocks in the vicinity of Market Street that contains many of the city's largest government and cultural institutions.
		However, Civic Center's beauty is marred by a reputation for being one of the more popular parts of the city for the homeless and addicted.
		Civic Center is a subway stop on San Francisco Muni.

	Portrait - Scholarship with a Civic Mission
		The goal of RSL is to enable undergraduates to pursue research of relevance both to academic inquiry and to community needs and interests and move broadly to foster intellectual, ethical, and civic engagement on a research university campus.
		Scholarship with a Civic Mission was a natural outgrowth of the work that Alma Blount had been doing in the Hart Leadership Program’s Service Opportunities in Leadership (SOL) program.
		Biology professor Sherryl Broverman has inspired dozens of students to address public health inequalities through her Scholarship with a Civic Mission gateway course, “AIDS and Emerging Diseases,” which places students with local HIV/AIDS organizations.

	Dying in the City of the Blues:Sickle Cell Anemia and the Politics of Race and Health, by Keith Wailoo. Introduction. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In the 1950s and 1960s public and professional discourse bound the lives of people with sickle cell disease and their parents to controversial issues ranging from the fl diaspora to assimilation to population control.
		With their increasing visibility in evolutionary biology and clinical medicine, persons with sickle cell disease became more central than ever to Americans' understanding of the complexities of disease experience, to Americans' growing appreciation of the power of scientific medicine, and to sweeping debates over the nature of African American identity.
		Its civic culture evolved as a tense compromise between urban ideals and rural traditions.

		Rappelyea pointed out that while the Butler Act prohibited the teaching of evolution, the state required teachers to use the assigned textbook - Hunter's Civic Biology - which included a chapter on evolution.
		Civic Biology was the science book that John T. Scopes used to teach his class the theory of evolution.

	The Scopes Trial
		Scopes thought that he could not teach biology properly without teaching evolution, and considered the law to be unconstitutional.
		The title Civic Biology is similar to one of the phrases used to refer to eugenics, "social biology." In a front page of the book, facing the title page, there is a mild but clear piece of propaganda.
		Most of the book is straightforward biology, but it also presents some of the author's views and values, including eugenics, white supremacy, contempt for people with disabilities and an impatience with charity.

	Discovery Institute - Article Database - The New Fundamentalism
		Scopes stood trial in Dayton, Tenn., 75 years ago this summer for using "Hunter's Civic Biology," a textbook containing a paragraph on Charles Darwin, in violation of a state law prohibiting the teaching of natural selection.
		These concerns intersect at the evolving new theory of "intelligent design." Unlike creationism, intelligent-design theory acknowledges that the universe is immensely old and that all living things are descended from earlier forms.
		But the theory goes on to contend that organic biology is so phenomenally complex that it is illogical to assume that life created itself.

	Scopes Trial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rappelyea pointed out that while the Butler Act prohibited the teaching of the theory of evolution, the state required teachers to use a textbook - Hunter's Civic Biology - which explicitly described and endorsed the theory of evolution, and that teachers were therefore effectively required to break the law.
		Although Hunter's Civic Biology was primarily a biology textbook, it reflected a marked bias towards eugenics - hence the use of the word "Civic" in the title.
		Indeed, part of the text was in fact authored by Charles Davenport, director of the Eugenics Record Office, a privately funded research organization.

	Concerned Women for America - The Creation/Evolution Debate: Education v. Indoctrination

		On July 10, 1925, hundreds of spectators packed a courthouse in Dayton, Tennessee, to hear the case against substitute biology teacher John Scopes, who was charged with the crime of teaching evolution to his high school class.
		In Dayton a group of civic boosters saw the ACLU notice and seized on the idea that a high-publicity trial could help reverse their town's sagging economy.
		The very textbook that John Scopes used in his classes-George Hunter's A Civic Biology-declared that humanity could be divided into five races, each occupying an ascending step on the evolutionary ladder.

	JURIST - State v. John Scopes (The "Monkey Trial")
		Scopes replied that while filling in for the regular biology teacher during an illness, he had assigned readings on evolution from the book for review purposes.
		After drugstore owner Fred Robinson took the stand to testify as to Scope's statement that "any teacher in the state who was teaching Hunter's Biology was violating the law," the prosecution rested.
		The statements of the experts were widely reported by the press, helping Darrow succeed in his efforts to turn the trial into a national biology lesson.

		This jumped out at me, both because of my recent posts on William Jennings Bryan and because most people understand very little about what was really going on at the Scopes trial.
		The book that Scopes was teaching was a popular biology book of the day--George Hunter's Civic Biology (1914).
		Civic Biology was a vicious social Darwinist tract.

	Galesburg and the Scopes Trial
		Seventy-five years ago the nation was riveted to radio broadcasts from a courtroom in Dayton, Tenn. At the center of attention was the teaching of evolution, contrary to state law, by a substitute biology teacher named John T. Scopes and the book he taught from.
		That book was ''A Civic Biology,'' penned by George W. Hunter in 1914.
		The textbook, one of twelve high school textbooks on science and biology, written by Hunter was not particularly controversial for its day.

	Newsletter
		Several popular American biology textbooks published between 1900 and 1920 clearly described evolution, but its coverage declined thereafter in response to growing fundamentalism.
		On 21 July, 1925 biology teacher John Scopes was convicted and fined, as predicted and desired by both the prosecution and the defense.
		In 1927 A Civic Biology was renamed New Civic Biology; all references to human evolution were expunged, and Darwin's theory was downgraded to "His interpretation of the way in which all life changes." Another (and best-selling) biology textbook published in 1933 asserted that Darwin's theory was "no longer generally accepted."

	RedOrbit NEWS \| Evolution, Religion Entwined (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		On July 10, it will be exactly 80 years since John Scopes went on trial, charged with teaching evolution as briefly set forth in "A Civic Biology Presented in Problems" by George W. Hunter.
		The vigorous arguments made by Darwinians like Richard Dawkins and Daniel C. Dennett to the effect that contemporary evolutionary theory has buried all traditional religious beliefs may not be conclusive, but they cannot be dismissed, nor rebutted simply by the fact that some evolutionists continue to be believers.
		The neat formula "evolutionary biology is evolutionary biology, religion is religion, and the former belongs in public schools but the latter does not" cannot do justice to the fuzzy reality of the evolution-religion hybrid.
