Science Classes, Says Americans United

likely to spark litigation, says Americans United for Separation of Church
and State.
Approved by a 94-3 vote, the so-called "Science Education Act" (SB 733)
allows public school teachers to use "supplemental materials" when
discussing evolution.

It is hard to imagine any reason for opposing evolution other than some
kind of religious belief which is incompatible with it.
