Possibly (probably --is there any topic not covered by some
list?).

But, what is important about this particular (creationism/school
board decisions) subject is that it relates directly to _this_
lists coverage of classification, evolution, systematics, and
teaching about same, etc.  --it challenges (however misguided,
misinformed, and unsupportable you may believe that challenge to
be) the very (evolution) fundamentals that this list rests on.

So, I suggest that this list _is_ (one of) the special discussion
lists equipped to deal with at least this (creationism vis a vis
evolution) thing.
