State Rejects Texts Over Poor Evolution Coverage.

Chemical and Engineering News, v63 n38 p6 Sep 23 1985

California's Board of Education recently rejected all of the more than 20 seventh- and eighth-grade science textbooks submitted to it because the books' publishers had "watered down" the treatment of evolution. Rationale for the board's decision and implications for publishing (such as revising the textbooks) are addressed. (JN)
