national embarrassment," said Ron Wetherington, an anthropology
professor at Southern Methodist University, according to AP.
Global media outlets are highlighting the protest and
ongoing bone of contention between the Evolutionists and the Creationists;
regarding how science will be taught in school, including a Russian media

improve our rankings.
