“Science Center Intolerant of Intelligent Design”
by Pete Chagnon - OneNewsNow   
December 7th, 2009

A West Coast-based group is suing a science center for its refusal to release sensitive documents.

The Washington State-based Discovery Institute had filed a request to obtain public documents from the California Science Center after the latter cancelled a contract with the American Freedom Alliance (AFA). The contract originally allowed the AFA to screen a pro-intelligent design film at the center's IMAX theater in October of this year.

In November, the center released 44 pages of documents and claimed that all the records requested by the Discovery Institute were included. However, Casey Luskin, the program officer with the institute, claims that is not true.

"Well we know for a fact that the California Science Center's claims were not true because we have actual e-mail documentation of e-mails that should have been disclosed in response to our public documents request, but were not," Luskin explains. "We obtained those e-mails through other parties that are involved in this whole issue, but the bottom line is that the California Science Center violated the California Public Records Act by not disclosing these e-mails to us. And the reason why this is important is because these e-mails show clear evidence of their intolerance and viewpoint discrimination against intelligent design."
 
A lawsuit has since been filed with the State Superior Court in Los Angeles County.
