National Center for Science Education

The National Center for Science Education (NCSE) is an anticreationist and secular humanist organisation dedicated to promoting the teaching of evolution in public schools. The executive director is Ann Reid who succeeded Eugenie Scott in November 2013.

According to Jonathan Sarfati: One of the most vociferous anti-creationist organizations is the pretentiously named National Center for Science Education. This is a humanist-founded organization, and its chief spokesperson, Eugenie Scott, is the winner of humanist awards and was also a consultant for the PBS series. It's significant that the only ‘science education’ NCSE seems interested in is evolution—not chemistry, physics, astronomy, or even experimental biology (or rocket science for that matter).

Purpose
The NCSE was founded in 1981. The organization states that it holds no religious preference, and that it's members are diverse in personal faiths. The NCSE is a non-profit organization, affiliated with the American Association for the Advancement of Science. NCSE fights for the teaching of evolutionary biology in schools, while it strongly opposes religious views (particularly creationism) being taught in science classes. The NCSE is located in Oakland, California. The National Science Center for Education is supported by many big names in evolution, including Bill Nye The Science Guy.
