Creationism To Be Taught In Indiana Schools

02.01.12 | Sarah Harnisch

The Indiana Senate has ok'd the teaching of creationism, alongside evolution, in public schools. The Senate passed the bill yesterday, 28 to 22, that would allow any school to teach religion-based views on the origin of creation. Schools would not be forced to teach creationism, but they would not be penalized if they chose to teach it. The bill still has to be approved by the state House and the governor of Indiana.
