During the year 2002 the Ohio State School board revised its recommendations for teaching science in all twelve grades. Many scientists wanted evolution taught. For six months newspapers carried news stories about books and debates, letters to editors from all directions, interviews sith teachers and writers, and long editorials. The author records most of these and reflects upon all sides critically. He comments within and upon them. Ohio dug up Darwin. Rolwing holds his nose, not at the corpse, but over the reasons given for both burying him and for digging him up. Bad history, bad science, bad philosophy, bad theology, bad politics, bad pedagogy, and bad faith raised quite a bad stink.
