>The "experts" intervening in the California textbook process were of course a partisan (though majoritarian) faction.One of my side interests is the debate between evolution and Creationism. The debate does not exist within science, but is a result of vocal opposition based on religious and political beliefs. As a result, Creationists attempt to introduce their ideas into the classroom without their having to go through the academic process whereby new ideas are vetted.The similarities with this discussion are striking.David Fickett-Wilbar
