Creation in Public Schools: Let’s try it one more time
Many people, including New Scientist, are reporting on the passing of a bill in the Louisiana Senate: Senate Bill 733, the “Louisiana Science Education Act.” This is yet another instance of a religious agenda being pushed into the public school under the guise of science. Can we go ahead and agree that this is ridiculous, not scientific in the slightest, and has no place in a public schoolroom? Look, if you want to teach your kids creation, that’s great–but keep it at home or at church. Not in the public school that I am funding. Of course, this doesn’t just deal with evolution, but with “evolution, the origins of life, global warming, and human cloning.” Oh, come on!
