From the New York Times, Sept. 17, 1985 (p A14)
Title: Publishers Set to Revise Science Texts to Cal. Standards.
"Several publishers of textbooks that were rejected last week by the
California Board of Education for use in seventh- and eighth-grade
science classes said they expected to revise their textbooks in time for
adoption next year.
The board rejected 20 science books, asserting the publishers had
diluted instruction on evolution, apparently in an effort to placate
fundamentalists. It invited the five publishers of the seven books it
ranked haighest to submit revisions by Oct. 15 if they wanted to be
considered for the 1986-1987 school year. Top officials of three of the
publishers said yesterday that they hoped to respond in time."
Let's hear it for the California Board of Education!!! All Right!!!
Score another victory for evolution.
