The National Center for Science Education reports that creationism is being taught in some Texas K-12 schools in Bible classes.
I am not sure I can get as upset about this as if this were being taught in other courses. It’s a Bible class. What’s on the label is what’s in the tin, so to speak.
Phil Plait also reports on voucher program sused to support sending students to private schools with public money. Texas does not have a voucher program, but is apparently considering it.
It seems strange that religious fantasies are being taught in a public school. Is this not an obvious violation of our Establishment Clause? Also, should professional idiots be allowed to mentally abuse innocent children in a public school?
