Watchdog Group Warns New science standards under consideration in Pennsylvania open the door to religious indoctrination in public schools and could lead to lawsuits, Americans United for Separation of Church and State has charged. Lynn charged that this is code language designed to win a spot for creationism in science classes. We strongly urge you not to give bad advice to school administrators and science teachers through poorly worded science standards. It's not repeatable. It's a theory.
Evolution is a religious tenet.
It's a tenet of secular humanism and of Marxism and Communism. Lynn urged Gallagher not to let creationists drag Pennsylvania into a costly and drawn-out battle over religion in public schools. Pennsylvania is considering the controversial change despite praise for the state's existing science curriculum. Earlier this year, the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation surveyed all 50 states and assigned them letter grades on the basis of how they teach evolution. It would highly ironic if the board were to now turn its back on that progress and denigrate the teaching of evolution in any way.
