Out of Sight, Out of Mind
Evangelists in Kenya want fossil exhibits in Nairobi's National Museum of Kenya kept out of sight.
They fear seeing the museum's unrivaled collection of fossils, which includes, according to The Guardian, a 4 million-year-old specimen of Australopithecus anamensis, the 1.5 million-year-old remains of the Nariokotome boy, the most complete skeleton of an ancient human ever found, and a series of other bones that highlight crucial phases of our evolutionary past, may corrupt young people.
Psst. Hey kid. Want to be corrupted? Take a gander at this.
