HARRISBURG - Dover High School science teachers were so outraged by a decision to introduce what they said was Bible-based creationism into biology class that they refused to read a mandatory statement to their students promoting the idea, according to two science faculty members testifying in a federal trial over the teaching of evolution.
The teachers said the curriculum change approved last year required that students be presented with intelligent design as an alternative to Darwin's theory of evolution. They said it would violate professional ethics to teach intelligent design, which posits that the universe is so complex that it must have been created by an intelligent being, in a science classroom.
"I felt it was too close to creationism to be taught," said biology teacher Jennifer Miller.

А где политическая корректность: если племенные мифы христиан должны включаться в школьную программу по естествознанию, почему племенные мифы других племен не включаются? Например у идейцев есть мифы про гигантских черепах и говорящих медведей.
