Evolution disclaimer supported
| Quote | High school biology textbooks would include a disclaimer that evolution is only a theory under a change approved Tuesday by a committee of the state's top school board.
If the disclaimer wins final approval, it would apparently make Louisiana just the second state in the nation with such a provision. The other is Alabama, which is the model for the disclaimer backers want in Louisiana.

The article quotes Darrell White, who was one of the agitators for last year's legislation aimed at declaring Charles Darwin, noted abolitionist, to have been a racist.
