In 1996, Kaz Dziamka wrote a proposal to teach "The American Humanist Tradition," a history of American secular humanism. The course became very popular with local college and university students, but also caused an outburst of protests from the conservative Christians in Albuquerque. The story received a front-page coverage in the Albuquerque Journal and became a feature article in Alibi, an independent weekly in New Mexico. Dziamka has since been offered to teach the class again during the Spring semester at CNM for academic honor students. Dziamka received the Humanist Pioneer Award for 1999 from the American Humanist Association.
