Richard Dawkins and a Science Teacher walk into a Classroom.

Bertha Vazquez has been teaching middle school science in Miami-Dade County Public Schools for 33 years. She is director of The Teacher Institute for Evolutionary Science.

Summary:
The video features a science teacher from Miami-Dade County.

The science teacher plans to focus on running projects related to science education.

The topic of the video is about how belief in God and evolution affects science teachers and their ability to teach science effectively.

The science teacher asks viewers to choose from three options about their beliefs on human creation, and most viewers choose "Humans evolved, but God had no part in the process."

The video discusses the history of teaching evolution in public schools and the controversy surrounding the teaching of creationism, which has been rebranded as "creation science" and "intelligent design" in the past.
