Zack Kopplin born July 20 1993 has campaigned

Zack Kopplin (born July 20, 1993) has campaigned to keep creationism out of public school science classrooms and been involved with other separation of church and state causes As a high school student, he campaigned against the Louisiana Science Education Act a creationism law.

Zachary "Zack" Sawyer Kopplin[1] (born July 20, 1993)[2] is an American political activist, writer, organizer, researcher, an academic, and television personality from Louisiana. Kopplin has campaigned to keep creationism out of public school science classrooms and been involved with other separation of church and state causes. He has opposed school vouchers because they provide public money to schools which may teach creationism. As a high school student, he organized dozens of Nobel laureate scientists in a campaign against the Louisiana Science Education Act, a creationism law. He is also involved with science funding policy and curriculum and textbook policy. His new campaign calls for a launching Second Giant Leap for Humankind, through a reinvestment in science and through ensuring students learn science. Kopplin has been interviewed on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, where Bill Maher noted, on the show, that Kopplin was the youngest guest ever to appear on his show. [3] MSN. com called Kopplin the Doogie Howser of political activists. [4] Kopplin has been featured by numerous international media outlets that include Vogue, the Washington Post, io 9, Slate, the Huffington Post, Moyers and Company, MSNBC, Current TV, NPR, and Public Radio International. Kopplin is a columnist for the Guardian. [5]

Even by the standards of the young and the restless, science advocate Zack Kopplin has been a very busy troublemaker of late. When Kopplin learned that the Orleans Parish School Board voted recently to ban creationist sham science texts from classrooms, he immediately sent word to the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology. That’s the group that decided not to hold its convention in New Orleans as a protest against the 2008 Louisiana Science and Education Act. Why were the scientists so peeved about the LSEA, and how does the law relate to creationism? I think the Sensuous Curmudgeon blog offers a concise explanation: Back in 2008 Louisiana disgraced itself by being the first state in the US to pass an anti-science, anti-evolution, pro-creationism “Academic Freedom” law modeled after the Academic Freedom Act promoted by the Discovery Institute. It encourages the use of unspecified “supplemental materials” — wink, wink — in science classes. The law was enacted notwithstanding a landmark decision from the US Supreme Court striking down Louisiana’s earlier creationism law (see: Edwards v. Aguillard).
