Unfortunately, many textbook publishers are responding to the pseudo-
religious trend of anti-creationism by giving only brief, vague mentions
of evolution in science textbooks. While I agree with the essence and tone
of your flaming article, I must take issue with your apparent belief that
science textbooks are beyond the pressures of politics and social trends,
even if those pressures are anti-scientific.
