News Item: School board in Cecil County, Md., approves biology textbook that contains no mention of creationism, but only with stipulation that creationism be mentioned in the classroom.

News Item: School board in Cecil County, Md., approves history textbook that contains no mention of Gandalf's arrival in Middle Earth, but only with the stipulation that Gandalf's arrival in Middle Earth be mentioned in the classroom.
