A group of citizens is planning a protest over the teaching of evolution in a Backwater University biology class.

The group is being led by Wilbur Straking, the pastor of Ever-Faithful Church of the Living Water. When asked about his plans, Straking said, “I plan to lead a group of 25 dedicated Christians to the state capital next Monday to speak with legislators about this problem. We believe the teaching of evolution is against the principles of this Christian country, and we want to put a stop to it.”

The class in question is taught by Laura Cliff, associate professor of biology. She would not comment on the group’s charges. The university president would not comment on the matter, either.
