Religion-based efforts to introduce misinformation in the classroom
"Emboldened by the important role social conservatives played in the reelection of George W. Bush," says a Jan. 29 editorial in the Boston Globe, "believers in the biblical account of man's origins are redoubling their efforts to have it made an alternative to Darwin's theory of evolution in public schools. According to the pro-Darwinism National Center for Science Education, efforts are underway in 43 states to nibble away at the clear line the Supreme Court laid down in 1987, when it banned Bible-based creationism as an intrusion of religion into the classroom."
