Abstract
Jill Williams and Sara Tolbert (2021) suggest that neoliberal reforms in Arizona have ‘ironically positioned science classrooms and science teachers as high potential sites of/for resistance’ to these reforms (p. 72). This forum response explores a number of ethical questions for American science teachers that arise from the political influence of anti-science constituencies, with particular reference to Christian right positions on evolution and climate change.
