Religious Conservatives Bully Textbook Publishers
Article Abstract:
Anti-evolution groups have been unsuccessful in passing anti-evolutionist legislation. They have also been unable to win any important court cases for their cause. Where anti-evolution groups have succeeded is in biology textbook publishing. They have managed to intimidate biology textbook publishers into imposing self-censorship concerning evolution. The publishing industry must resist the anti-evolution groups' pressure, or there will be more imposed and self-censorship. Publishers face economic loss, by not accommodating the desires of the textbook selection committee.
