California Education Board urged to balance evolution and creation in textbooks
At a public hearing the state Board of Education pushed for equal treatment of evolution and creation in science texts while critics said social studies books misrepresent minority lives. The board mulls adding both theories after a two year commission review. A recent attorney general opinion cautions creation in science texts may be unconstitutional. Kathy Butler, 16, Citrus Heights, urged teachers to include creation. Retired Assemblyman E Richard Barnes urged a fairness doctrine to cover both theories in science texts.
