Schools Could Be Allowed To Teach Creationism

Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 6:29 AM

(Indianapolis, Ind.) - A bill has cleared an Indiana Senate committee which would allow public schools to teach creationism along with evolution.

Senate Bill 89 was authored by State Sen. Dennis Kruse. The Senate Education Committee voted 8-2 to send the bill to the full Senate.

A Purdue University science education professor testified before the Senate Education Committee that allowing creationism to be taught is a violation of the constitution.
