Louisiana adopts first-of-its-kind bill allowing teachers to question evolution's claims
Seattle-based Discovery Institute praises new law
BATON ROUGE, La. — In a first for any state, Louisiana has adopted an academic freedom law giving teachers greater protection and freedom in teaching the strengths and weaknesses of Darwinian evolution, something supporters of academic freedom in science call a significant step forward.
Gov. Bobby Jindal, a Republican, signed the Louisiana Science Education Act after it unanimously passed the state Senate 36-0 and was approved by the House by a vote of 94-3. The law allows "open and objective discussion of scientific theories being studied, including but not limited to, evolution, the origins of life, global warming and human cloning." A statement on Jindal's Web site June 26 said he had signed it along with dozens of other bills.
Robert Crowther, a spokesman for the Seattle-based Discovery Institute, cited two reasons the law is needed.
"First, around the country, science teachers are being harassed, intimidated and sometimes fired for trying to present scientific evidence critical of Darwinian theory along with the evidence that supports it," Crowther wrote on Discovery's science and culture blog June 27.
