Louisiana Panel Supports New Biology Textbooks Despite Objections To Their Treatment of Evolution

A Louisiana state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education advisory panel voted 8-4 yesterday to recommend adoption of new high school life science text books, despite opposition by some who argued the books should include information on the theory of intelligent design and should pose more questions about evolutionary theory.  WWLTV News reports that objections to the books were mostly submitted through written comments while most of those who testified before the panel supported their adoption arguing that intelligent design is not science.
