Intelligent Design targets NSW schools

The Campus Crusade for Christ Australia is planning to send 3,000 Unlocking the Mystery of Life: Intelligent Design DVDs to New South Wales schools by the years end. CCCA national director Bill Hodgson said that schools which refuse to re-examine their evolution-based teaching are practicing "reactionary censorship". Maree O'Halloran, president of the NSW Teachers Federation, claimed the proposal was a religious marketing exercise, whilst Carmel Tebbutt, NSW Minister for Education, said that there is no place for unscientific theories in science classes.
