Where have you been for the last 8 months?
Louisiana gov. signs controversial education bill

Do you realize that for something to be taught, a teacher must stand up and teach the material to children? Signing a controversial education bill is not the same as teaching. Just watch what happens if some teacher tries to teach something that has been prohibited by the SCOTUS.

It’s happening despite the law.

Of the 25% of teachers who devoted time to creationism or intelligent design, nearly half agreed or strongly agreed that they teach creationism as a “valid scientific alternative to Darwinian explanations for the origin of species.” Nearly the same number agreed or strongly agreed that when they teach creationism or intelligent design they emphasize that “many reputable scientists view these as valid alternatives to Darwinian Theory” (see Table S3).
