Wisconsin school district to allow theories other than evolution

ASSOCIATED PRESS

GRANTSBURG, Wis., Nov. 6 - The city's school board has revised its science 
curriculum to allow the teaching of creationism, prompting an outcry from 
more than 300 educators who urged that the decision be reversed.

 

     School board members believed that a state law governing the teaching of 
evolution was too restrictive. The science curriculum ''should not be totally 
inclusive of just one scientific theory,'' said Joni Burgin, superintendent 
of the district of 1,000 students in northwest <>Wisconsin. 
       Last month, when the board examined its science curriculum, language 
was added calling for ''various models/theories'' of origin to be 
incorporated. 
       The decision provoked more than 300 biology and religious studies 
faculty members to write a letter last week urging the Grantsburg board to 
reverse the policy. It follows a letter sent previously by 43 deans at 
Wisconsin public universities. 
       ''Insisting that teachers teach alternative theories of origin in 
biology classes takes time away from real learning, confuses some students 
and is a misuse of limited class time and public funds,'' said Don Waller, a 
botanist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. 
       Wisconsin law mandates that evolution be taught, but school districts 
are free to create their own curricular standards, said Joe Donovan, a 
spokesman for the state Department of Public Instruction. 
       There have been scattered efforts around the nation for other school 
boards to adopt similar measures. Last month the Dover Area School Board in 
Pennsylvania voted to require the teaching of alternative theories to 
evolution, including ''intelligent design'' - the idea that life is too 
complex to have developed without a creator. 
       The state education board in Kansas was heavily criticized in 1999 
when it deleted most references to evolution. The decision was reversed in 
2001. 
       In March, the Ohio Board of Education narrowly approved a lesson plan 
that some critics contended opens the door to teaching creationism.
