For those who haven't interacted with social workers this is kind of a hard problem to describe. Essentially, Social workers have a code of ethics, in this code of ethics, there is a standard of cultural competence. It says: "Social workers should obtain education about and seek to understand the nature of social diversity and oppression with respect to race, ethnicity, national origin, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, marital status, political belief, religion, immigration status, and mental or physical disability." I feel the exclusion of Non-religious as a category is getting the way of social workers being culturally competent with secular groups. So I started a petition. http://www.change.org/petitions/nasw-include-non-religious-a-catego...

What is the preferred site to sign and make these petitions stick ? 

secular.org ? change.org ? http://www.whitehouse.gov/petitions ? 

The more sites there are, the more diluted the effort.

I suggest that sites create the petition at the white house one and refer to it in their own sites.

Hi All,

I don't know if you've heard about the vote on the "I Voted" stickers handed out on election day.  Some of the stickers have our state motto, "With God all things are possible".  There are more details at Friendly Atheist.  All you have to do to vote is supply an Ohio zip code.  They run from 43001 to 45999.  Voting closes on August 8, 2011.  Please vote Elect Your Sticker.  Multiple voting may require cleaning out cookies and/or rebooting between votes, not sure.

Petition to keep Creationism out of Louisiana, please sign!

Please join our campaign to repeal the Louisiana Science Education Act, R.S. 17:285.1, which was passed by the Louisiana Legislature in 2008. Simply put, the intent of this law is to allow the teaching of Creationism, including Intelligent Design, in public school science classes in Louisiana.   On April 15, Sen. Karen Carter Peterson introduced SB 70 to repeal the Louisiana Science Education Act.

Vote Down the Anti-Evolution Law

Please sign this petition:

http://www.change.org/petitions/tell-tennessee-vote-down-the-anti-e...

 

OVERVIEW

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that a proposed law in Tennessee encouraging science teachers to "critique" the theory of evolution, human cloning and global warming is a thinly-veiled plan to put bad science in good schools.

A bill passed the Tennessee House of Representatives April 7 that would require state and local educational authorities to "assist teachers to find effective ways to present the science curriculum as it addresses scientific controversies" and permit teachers to "help students understand, analyze, critique, and review in an objective manner the scientific strengths and scientific weaknesses of existing scientific theories covered in the course being taught."

One of the original drafters of the bill is no less than Focus On The Family, a group from the religious right that aims to put creationism back into the classroom. They succeeded in Mississippi, where science advocates are currently fighting to repeal the "anti-evolution law."

In Tennessee, it's now up to the State Senate to stop the bill. They're set to vote later this month. Sign this petition to tell them that Tennessee students deserve to learn science in science class.
