Another rejected text, "Biology for Christian Schools," declares on the first page that "if (scientific) conclusions contradict the Word of God, the conclusions are wrong,"

So what? If the theory is being taught, and the student can regurgitate the information sufficiently (i.e. at least as well as students taught in a public school, which should be VERY easy), whether the student believes it or not shouldn't be an issue.

After all, if evolution is true, and the professors are knowledgeable, shouldn't they be able to convince these kids once they get them away from their 'brainwashing' parents?

It seems that the issue is not about whether evolution is true or not, but about attempting to suppress dissenting views.

But of course, that's nothing new for evols.

That's all the information the article gives. It doesn't say whether the the theory is being taught or not.

There seems to be a general assumption that the texbook goes on to cover the theory after having already declared it in error, but so there hasn't been any evidence presented that it was.
