New creationism bill in Alabama.
February 15, 2012
HB 133 seeks to “authorize local boards of education to include released time religious instruction as an elective course for high school students.” The bill’s sponsor noted that “Creation has just as much right to be taught in the school system as evolution does and I think this is simply providing the vehicle to do that.”
So far this year we have:
- Indiana (SB 89) – shelved.
- Missouri (HB 1226 and HB 1227)
- Oklahoma (SB 1742 – doc)
- New Hampshire (HB 1457 and HB 1148)
- Alabama (HB 133)
Sweet. First time some kid wants credit and time out of class for studying HInduism I expect him to GET IT.
