Clay,
Actually no. I found out about this situation through the
Evolution/Creation Forum of the Internet Infidels Discussion Board. I
live in Houston, Texas. I thought about filing a complaint with the
Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association, but
decided your group would probably be the most suitable to handle this
since it's on your turf.


Best wishes,
Charlie Wilkins <ninewands>

Community College in your fair state. According to this article a Mr.
Jim Garretson, who is on the science faculty at MCC, is planning on
teaching a class in "Creation Science" under the aegis of the Physics
Department.

major changes which have taken place since that timeDinosaurs in the
past as well as in the presentThe flood, ice ages, mountain formation,
coal and oil formation, and the Grand CanyonHistory of evolution
through the ages and the effect it has had on the world as well as
many very influential peopleWhat is taught in school textbooks,
without factual supportive evidence?In my opinion, teaching this
religion class under the cover of a Physics course number (PHYS 2990)
constitutes consumer fraud by a public employee. I do not think the
administration at MCC understands that this course could cost them
their accreditation.
