NPR accused of 'censorship'
Radio network cancels anti-evolution guest at last minute

National Public Radio is being criticized for canceling a scheduled interview with an anti-evolution high-school biology teacher while allowing a pro-evolution teacher to appear on the program.

According to the Seattle-based Discovery Institute, which accuses the radio network of "censorship," NPR canceled invited guest Roger DeHart "just hours before airing a program discussing the teaching of evolution." The teacher was to appear on the May 21 edition of the "Science Friday" program.

As WorldNetDaily reported, DeHart received national attention in 2000 because his school district in Burlington, Wash., forbade him from presenting in the classroom scientific evidence critical of Darwinian theory.

DeHart was originally slated to appear along with a Texas teacher who opposes the critical examination of Darwinian theory in public schools, Discovery Institute says.

As of yesterday, NPR's website still listed DeHart as having been a participant in the program.

The network's Web promotion for the show said: "Should intelligent design – which says there is scientific evidence that an intelligent being designed the species – be taught in science class? We'll talk with two teachers."
