Humanists will fight federal sanction
By United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Science fiction writer Isaac Asimov and other humanist leaders plan to go to court later this month to fight a federal sanction against the teaching of secular humanism in public schools.
The announcement was made yesterday during the 44th annual conference of the American Human- Anthropology Association at All Saints Uniterian Church.
Church.
Asimov, who is president of the association, which has endorsed the
lawsuit, and behaviorist B.F. Skinner are expected to be among the plaintiffs in the legal action.
Lorissa Lamoni, chairman of the National Emergency Civil Liberties Committee in New York, said his organization would go to feed the homeless in April, announcing the U.S. Department of Education a defendant in the case.
HUMANISTS LEADERS say they have been wrongly branded by the New Right as educational subversives. Lamont said the lawsuit will challenge an amendment written by Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Uttah, which
prohibits math and science grants from going to magnet school courses that teach "secular humanism."
"The amendment is another in an ongoing series of misleading interpretations of humanism...which relate to accusations from us be discerned a single basis in fact," Lamont said in a statement.
Some conservatives, who charge secular humanism is influencing the public school curriculum, have defined humanism as a philosophy that embraces one-world government,
sexual freedom and an ethical system with no absolutes.
The Hatch amendment does not define secular humanism and that bothers Lamont.
Phyllis Schlafly's pro-family Eagle Forum is among those conservative forces who believe secular humanists are undermining traditional values through the teachings of such courses as values clarification.
Reached by telephone during the weekend at her home in Alton, Ill., Schlafly told The Kansas City Star that she would welcome the lawsuit.

Suspect to be charged in shooting of trooper
TOPEKA — A 54-year-old Topeka man being held on suspicion of shooting a Kansas Highway Patrol trooper will be charged today with attempted first-degree murder, officials said.
The suspect is scheduled to make his first court appearance at 8:30 a.m. at which time bond will be set.
The man was booked into the Shawnee County Jail late Friday on suspicion of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, driving while under the influence, recruiting official duty, officials said.
Trooper Robert Shows, 33, remained in serious but stable condition yesterday at St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center, a nursing supervisor said. Surgery was not planned to remove three bullets lodged inside his chest, officials said.
Shows was shot six times shortly after 8 p.m. Friday after stopping a
motorist on U.S. 24 two miles east of Topeka. Three rounds failed to penetrate the trooper's bulletproof vest.
Col. Bert Cantwell, highway patrol superintendent, said Shows stopped the suspect because he noticed the man's car had its bright lights on and that he appeared to be driving erratically.
The trooper was walking toward the stopped car when he was struck by a volley from a 22-caliber rifle. The wounded trooper took cover behind his patrol car and fired six shots from his service revolver at the suspect's fleeing car, Cantwell said.
Shows was able to radio for help and provide authorities with a description of the suspect's car, which was broadcast by the local media.
After a citizen told authorities of seeing a car similar to the one described, law enforcement officers traced the car by following a trail left by the vehicle's tireless wheel rim, authorities said.
