Baton Rouge, LA, September 28, 2009 — On September 16, the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) ignored the recommendations of science education professionals in the Louisiana Department of Education (DOE) and allowed the Louisiana Family Forum (LFF), a Religious Right lobbying group, to dictate the procedure concerning complaints about creationist supplementary materials used in public school science classes under the 2008 Louisiana Science Education Act (LSEA).

On the alleged connection between Hitler and Atheism:
"For it was by the Will of God that men were made of a certain bodily shape, were given their natures and their faculties." -Hitler, Mein Kampf, Volume II, Chapter X
Religion is belief in something that cannot be disproved. Superstition is belief in something that has been disproved. The former can be reasonable, the latter cannot. -Wendell Berry, paraphrased
Well, if they keep it up, eventually it'll lead to court. I don't think the creationists have a leg to stand on, legally (nor, of course, scientifically )
How can someone like Oller be allowed to advise on subjects when he he has no credentials in Biology or Science??
Creationism should be taken out of the classroom it serves no purpose but to brainwash and confuse.

Creationism isn't allowed in the science classroom to begin with. If it's found there, contact NCSE.
Do like a lot of the people did in northern Ireland when the troubles kicked off, they got out and left them to it,
if those people want to go back to the dark ages the government should step in and step on them just as they would any other criminal organisation because what it teaches is criminal, creationism does nothing but harm to everyone it touches and is detrimental to the country, freedom comes with responsibilities.

It's as if none of these knuckleheads in Louisiana had ever heard of Edwards v. Aguillard

I was making a generalization that Creationism and ID should not be taught in schools full stop.
Some faith schools in the UK teach creationism (albeit not as science) and those that do this have tried to recomend that mainstream schools also teach it. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...ffset=0&page=1
This article is a few years old, but it goes to show that it isn't just USA that is affected.
