Yesterday, the Louisiana Senate Education Committee upheld a controversial law that allows science teachers to bring "supplemental science education materials" into the classroom.
.
The Committee voted 3-1 to uphold the Louisiana Science Education Act (LSEA) - which critics contend allows teachers to introduce creationist literature into science classrooms - on the grounds that no proof that teachers were importing religious-oriented material into the public school could be found.
.
The LSEA, which was passed in 2008 with the support of Governor Bobby Jindal and prominent state conservatives, allows teachers to use "supplemental textbooks and other instructional materials" so long as they "help students understand, analyze, critique, and review scientific theories in an objective manner." Gene Mills, president of the Christian Louisiana Family Forum, called it "a reasonable academic freedom policy, one that has become a model for others."
.
Critics of the law, including Dr. Jim Dugan, claimed at the hearing that LSEA is a ruse designed to allow for the teaching of creationism and intelligent design in public schools under the aegis of "critical thinking."
