Hi all,

A few weeks back someone had posted a question about modifying a museum's tour
program for a Christian group.

This week's Denver Westword includes an article about a firm that offers
independent "Biblically Correct" tours of museums and other "cultural
temples."

http://www.westword.com/issues/2002-10-17/feature.html/1/index.html

Setting aside the obvious arguements here, I was wondering whether this
approach had been used elsewhere.  Did anyone offer *organized* tours of the
Enola Gay exhibit providing interpretations not included in the exhibit?  What
if a group showed up at Monticello presenting their interpretation of the
Sally Hemmings case?  I've seen many of these things debated in print or heard
of organized protests, but not groups actively coming in and presenting their
side of the story.

The article talks a little about one local insitutions "freedom of speech"
polcies - have many other institutions created such a policy?
