I'm actually clipping this not because I find the news particularly interesting or shocking, but because I find the wording of the excerpt from the biology textbook kind of interesting: "God created each type of fish, amphibian, and reptile as separate, unique animals. " This emphasis on separateness and uniqueness seems characteristic of creationist thinking.

And this is taught in schools for everyone...or just this school for this sect?

IMO, btw, saying "God did this or that," is not science.
