What material was the docent prevented from presenting?

Well, let's look at the average docent's job. There is a number of exhibits that the docent is to walk people through and provide a basic intro about what the exhibit addresses. There's time for two or three questions at each exhibit, then she must move to the next one. The purpose is to provide an overview of what the museum has to offer. From the article, this is what occurred:

Lenore Durkee, a retired biology professor, was volunteering as a docent at the Museum of the Earth here when she was confronted by a group of seven or eight people, creationists eager to challenge the museum exhibitions on evolution.

They peppered Dr. Durkee with questions about everything from techniques for dating fossils to the second law of thermodynamics, their queries coming so thick and fast that she found it hard to reply.

if you don't see that behavior as "nasty, disruptive, MOB"-like, then you I have little to discuss. However, you need to know that if you are part of a group that does this, and I happen to be on the same tour in the same museum, I will speak up against your harrassment of the docent.

There is no evidence to back up your hyperbole and fantasy

So you use the same tactics you accuse me of. Good going - bub. :)

I guess I would not be fit to be a museum docent. 45 minutes?? After about 45 seconds on the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics my next reply would probably begin with: "Listen here, you simpering little twit." =)

I repeat: What material was the docent prevented from presenting?

You make the claim but cannot substantiate. You make assumptions that the docent was supposed to give a tour and make presentations, but was prevented? There is no evidence of this in the article. And you continue to consider people asking questions a "nasty mob".

Obviously you've been caught with your pants down. Attack mode kinda spun out of control for you, huh? Lol ....
