Atheist challenges evolution teaching in D C suit
Washington July 23. An avowed atheist Lorey H Wittner sues to strike a rider from a federal district of Columbia appropriation bill that would bar salaries for any public school official who teaches or permits evolution or disrespect for the Bible. The suit aims to force a constitutional test of teaching evolution, contending Congress seeks to stifle education and limit curricula to ancient ideas. The case follows Dayton v. Scopes precedents as officials deny salaries pending outcome. The Department of Justice will represent the District in the suit, which challenges the Summers rider and broader anti-evolution provisions.
