School Board Considers Ban Against Textbook Biased Against Jews and Christians

KNOXVILLE, TN - The Knox County Board of Education in Tennessee is considering an appeal for the removal of a biology book that one parent says is biased against creationism.

The textbook defines creationism as "the biblical myth that the universe was created by the Judeo-Christian God in 7 days."

Richard Dawson, who wrote his master's thesis on the theory of evolution and has two daughters with teaching degrees, said while the question at hand is about whether creationism is a myth, his question is: "Is evolution a myth?"
