ACLU protests creationism group's Kansas event
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The American Civil Liberties Union urged a southwest Kansas school district Friday to call off plans for a pro-creationism group to talk to students about dinosaurs.
The Kansas and Western Missouri chapter of the ACLU and the organization's Program on Freedom of Religion and Belief raised concerns in an email that the assemblies will be used to "spread creationism" in the 1,100-student Hugoton district. Superintendent Mark Crawford said he isn't canceling the assemblies.
The issue arose because members of the Oklahoma-based Creation Truth Foundation are to speak next week at several events on school property, including public gatherings in the evening and assemblies during the school day.
Foundation instructor Matt Miles said creationism would be discussed only during events conducted outside the school day. During the school assemblies, students are shown pictures and fossils, Miles said.
"We're going to come in and talk about dinosaurs, so nothing Biblical," Miles said.
