[edit] The neutrality of this article is disputed? Really?

I'm removing the tag; as there doesn't seem to be any discussion of the alleged disputed neutrality, which would seem to be necessary for the tag to be present. Feel free to re-add the tag so long as you actually state in what way you believe the neutrality is disputed. -- weirdoactor ^t|c 22:02, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy

Chisum distributed an anti-evolution essay written by Ben Bridges, a Republican state representative from Cleveland, Georgia. The essay attacks evolution, claims that the Sun revolves around the Earth, and contains links to a website calling Albert Einstein and Carl Sagan "Kabbalists".^[1] The website, The Fair Education Foundation, Inc., espouses anti-Semitic, Creationist, and geocentrist beliefs, and claims that Jewish physicists are part of an ancient conspiracy attempting to destroy Christian teachings about the age and structure of the universe.^[2] Chisum came under attack by the Anti-Defamation League and others for supporting anti-Semitism and has defended himself by saying that the distribution was out of courtesy to Bridges, and that he was unaware of the content of the website. "I did not go to the website, which I understood maybe I should've done," Chisum said he’s "willing to apologize if I've offended anyone."^[3]
