Tulsa's Park and Recreation Board voted Thursday morning to drop plans for adding a creationism exhibit at the Tulsa Zoo.
The board voted 3-to-1 to reverse last month's decision to allow the exhibit. Mayor Bill LaFortune was the only dissenting vote.
The board voted 3-to-1 last month to allow an exhibit presenting the biblical account of the world's creation. It was to be put in the zoo's time gallery that has a display on evolution.
A group called Friends of Religion and Science then formed and collected nearly 2,000 signatures on an online petition asking the park board to reverse its decision.
