Utah To Be Next Evolution Battleground
Utah promises to be the next battleground in the debate over teaching of alternatives to evolution. The Salt Lake Tribune today reports that State Senator Chris Buttars, supported by the Eagle Forum, will lead a fight in the next legislative session to have schools teach "Divine Design". According to Buttars: ''The divine design is a counter to the kids' belief that we all come from monkeys. Because we didn't. It shocks me that our schools are teaching evolution as fact."
