And it’s not just Louisiana …

“Louisiana has a long and unfortunate history of trying to substitute dogma for science in … classrooms,” said the Rev. Barry Lynn, an executive director for Americans United for Separation of Church and State, a religious liberty watchdog.

The group says similar legislation has been attempted previously in other states such South Carolina, Alabama, Michigan, Missouri and Florida. Similar battles have also taken places at the school board level in Kansas.
