They have already frightened the high school textbook publishers into dropping all but the most passing mention of evolution from biology texts available to American schools. In your country evolution is a scientific issue. In the US it's a political issue. To the ultra-conservative right wing fanatic 'evilooshunism' is equated with humanism, atheism, Communism and denial of God and is viewed as part of a Satanic conspiracy to attack Christianity. ## E pur si muove!
