In 2009, there were seven states which required critical analysis skills be employed when examining evolutionary material within schools.<ref>http://www.discovery.org/a/9851</ref> In May of 2011, [[Creation Ministries International]] and the [[Traditional Values Coalition]] decided to jointly initiate a [[question evolution campaign]] which encourages to students and others to "question the evolutionary [[pseudoscience]] peddled to them" and to wear anti-evolution clothing and pass out question evolution tracts within their schools and community. The Traditional Values Coalition is a church lobbying organization that lobbies for over 43,000 churches.
