Anti-evolutionism is alive and well in 1986, and it is especially prominent in American education. I have received comments on my teaching evaluations to the effect that "Evolution is a lot of —." High school teachers report students. walking out when they begin discussing human evolution. According to "A Consumer's Guide to Biology Textbooks" (Washington: People for the American Way, 1985), censors of the Religious Right have sufficiently Pressured textbook publishers so that the three best-selling high school biology books do not mention evolution at all, and over half of the texts reviewed recently had no or inadequate coverage of evolution.
