Museum covers up Darwin text after Genesis complaint

Museum covers up Darwin text after Genesis complaint 
The Telegraph [UK], 29 Aug 2008 

Staff at Abington Park Museum in Northampton blocked out a section of an
information board after a visitor complained that it misrepresented the
Bible. The move prompted an official protest from the National Secular
Society which accused the local council of "pandering" to the
creationist movement. Part of an exhibition on two local collectors, the
information board included a passage explaining the role of Charles
Darwin's book "On the Origin of Species" in challenging the Victorian
understanding of fossils. One sentence read: "He used the same layers of
fossils that had supported the Genesis view of evolution to show the
slow changes that are taking place over the millennia of earth history."
But when a member of the public complained that there was no "Genesis
view of evolution", staff decided to cover the section of text with a
piece of paper and order a new display board to be made. Terry
Sanderson, president of the National Secular Society, said: "Hiding the
facts of evolution is a form of intellectual child abuse."
