Mississippi: Equal Time for ID and Creationism Bill
Proposed Mississippi House Bill 625 would allow a school district to teach creationism or intelligent design in the schools within the district.
Apparently, Mississippi lawmakers are unfamiliar with federal court rulings. HB 625 would require that "if the theory of evolution is required to be taught as part of the school district's science curriculum, in order to provide students with a comprehensive education in science, the school board also must include the teaching of creationism or intelligent design in the science curriculum."
Thanks to reader SRA for calling this to our attention.
