I sure hope Louisiana is alone in their utter stupidity to pass these laws.  Disputing a scientific theory is fine, but this is ridiculous when your only opposing view comes froma  story book, while evidence shows time and time again that is at least a viable option.  Why no dispute gravity, thermal dynamics or basic physics?  They are jsut theories after all... get that stuff out of our schools.

the students of the state will be subjected to an "anything goes" approach to science—if it looks scientific to a school board, it can appear in the classroom.

Whatever happened to that concept of seperation of church and state?

I laugh, but this came from a real Christian coloring book...

A very uplifting article presented by the UK telegraph entitled:
