BATON ROUGE – An effort to repeal a Louisiana law that allows teachers to introduce alternatives to evolution in science classrooms was rejected in a Senate committee.
Zach Kopplin, a Baton Rouge native who is now a freshman at Rice University, has now twice lost his fight to repeal the Louisiana Science Education Act adopted in 2008. He says the law harms the state’s image and allows the teaching of “pseudo-science.”
His position is supported by 78 Nobel Prize Laureates from around the world who write letters supporting his efforts.
The law, cited nationally as a way to allow the teaching of creationism in classrooms, “requires the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, upon request of a local school board, to allow and assist teachers, principals, and other school administrators to create and foster an environment within public elementary and secondary schools that promotes critical thinking skills, logical analysis, and open and objective discussion of scientific theories being studied including evolution, the origins of life, global warming, and human cloning.”
It’s only fair that both sides get to brain-wash equally. I mean seriously, students are too dumb to listen to alternatives and make up their own minds. Students have to be brain-washed in some form or fashion or there is anarchy or something…and stuff.
