"Chained to the Devil's Throne": Evolution and Creation Science as a Religio-Political Issue.
Paterson, Frances R. A.; Rossow, Lawrence F.
American Biology Teacher, v61 n5 p358-64 May 1999
Describes challenges to teaching evolution initiated by religious fundamentalist groups in the United States. Finds that the number of after-the-fact challenges to public school material, curricula, and instructional activities objected to because they included evolution or failed to include creation science from 1983-1996 is relatively small. Contains 45 references. (WRM)
