CRI has joined a national coalition raising concerns about how scientific evidence is presented to federal judges.

The coalition is asking the Federal Judicial Center to remove the “How Science Works” chapter from its Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence, arguing that courts should evaluate scientific evidence based on the reliability of the evidence and methods used—not simply perceived scientific consensus. Caesar Rodney Institute

Why does this matter to Delaware? Scientific and technical evidence can influence decisions involving healthcare, energy, environmental regulation, business, and other issues that affect Delawareans.

CRI’s participation also gives Delaware a voice in broader national policy discussions.

AI in the Classroom: Will It Transform Delaware Education? Artificial intelligence is making its way into Delaware classrooms. But is it helping students learn, or is it doing the thinking for them?

AI has the potential to support teachers and improve education, but without proper safeguards, it could weaken critical thinking and independent learning.

In CRI's latest article, Nancy Mercante, Director of the Center for Education Policy, examines the opportunities, risks, and need for clear statewide guidelines to ensure AI strengthens learning rather than replaces it.

The goal isn't more technology in classrooms. It's better learning.

A WIN FOR DELAWAREANS! Government Accountability Matters!

One Delaware homeowner challenged the state's offshore wind approval process—and won a significant victory for transparency and accountability. On October 13, Delaware's Environmental Appeals Board voted 5–1 in favor of Edward Bintz's challenge, sending the US Wind approval back to DNREC for further review.

✅ State agencies must follow their own regulations.
✅ Delawareans deserve transparency.
✅ Citizens deserve a voice in decisions affecting their communities.

One citizen CAN make a difference!

In her latest blog, Dr. Michelle Parsons, CRI Board Chair, explains what this decision means for Delaware's coastal communities, government accountability, and public participation.

$40 MILLION IN POTENTIAL SCHOLARSHIPS FOR DELAWARE STUDENTS!

What if Delaware families could access millions in additional educational funding for tutoring, after-school programs, transportation, and other learning opportunities? A new Federal Scholarship Tax Credit program could generate an estimated $40 million annually in privately funded scholarships for Delaware students.

But there's a catch: Delaware must choose to participate!

In CRI's latest blog, Nancy Mercante, Director of the Center for Education Policy, shares highlights from her interview with Rick Jensen on WDEL, explaining how the program works, who could benefit, and why Governor Matt Meyer's decision matters.

There’s a lot of confusion about how the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit would work — especially when it comes to funding.

MYTH: Participating would take money away from Delaware public schools.

FACT: The scholarships would be privately funded through federal tax credits, not Delaware education appropriations. With 90% of K-12 students attending public schools, it would bring money to those students!

The proposal could create additional educational opportunities for Delaware students without reducing existing state or local school funding.

Get the facts. Read the proposal. Sign the petition. Then tell us what you think.
