Broome has served on the advisory board of the Christian Coalition in Louisiana. She got her master's degree from Regent University, founded by evangelist Pat Robertson. Twenty years ago, Louisiana passed a law that required the Bible-inspired version of man's origins be included whenever evolution was taught in public schools. The U.S. Supreme Court rejected that law in 1987 and said it violated the constitutional mandate for separation of church and state. Broome said if lawmakers approved her resolution, the next step would be for the state to require disclaimers in school textbooks that spell out Darwin's theory.
Fabian creationism strikes out again.
Nice try, though. That s not fair to Kansas, but it came to mind when reading an article about a House committee approving a resolution that calls Charles Darwin s theory of evolution racist. A couple of years ago Kansas came under the anti-evolution spell, but has since decided science really does belong in the state s classrooms. Even Darwin struggled with this before publishing his theory. The facts are overwhelmingly in favor of evolution.
