Louisiana Education Case Highlights Bobby Jindal’s Creationism State
At The Guardian, Paul Harris looks at the religious implications of a new court case in Louisiana that challenges Governor Bobby Jindal’s voucher system for schools. Jindal’s program supports many conservative Christian schools that teach creationism. Harris writes, “When parents use the vouchers at such establishments they are effectively giving state money to teach children lessons that can include alternatives to the theory of evolution or questioning the widely accepted age of the Earth.”
