Creationism spreading in schools, thanks to vouchers
This practice needs to be challenged in the courts and shut down! This is taxpayer funding of religion.
Creationism spreading in schools, thanks to vouchers

I first began investigating creationist school vouchers as my part of my fight against creationism in my home state of Louisiana. Over the past few months, Ive learned creationist vouchers arent just a Louisiana problemtheyre an American problem. School vouchers are, as James Gill recently wrote in the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the answer to a creationists prayer.
Liberty Christian School, in Anderson, Indiana, has field trips to the Creation Museum and students learn from the creationist A Beka curriculum. Kingsway Christian School, in Avon, Indiana, also has Creation Museum field trips. Mansfield Christian School, in Ohio, teaches science through the creationist Answers in Genesis website, run by the founder of the Creation Museum. The schools Philosophy of Science page says, the literal view of creation is foundational to a Biblical World View. All three of these schools, and more than 300 schools like them, are receiving taxpayer money.
So far, I have documented 310 schools, in nine states and the District of Columbia that are teaching creationism, and receiving tens of millions of dollars in public money through school voucher programs. ...........
