HB1701 - TO ALLOW CREATIONISM AS A THEORY OF HOW THE EARTH CAME TO EXIST TO BE TAUGHT IN KINDERGARTEN THROUGH GRADE TWELVE CLASSES IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND OPEN-ENROLLMENT PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOLS.
It now goes to the Senate.
Although the bill does not make creationism mandatory, it is still unconstitutional to teach creationism in science classes.
Arkansas should know this from McLean v. Arkansas and the more encompassing Edwards v. Aguillard.
