The crucial mission of furthering science education in
Louisiana is seriously jeopardized by this blatant
politicization of science in our schools. If creationists
are allowed to inject their narrow interpretation of human
origins in biology classes, the entire project of science,
which is based on independently verifiable observations and
rigorously tested hypothesis, will be undermined.

Academic Freedom Act," HB 1168 is a counterpart of the
original version of Senate Bill 561, which was passed, in
amended form, by the Senate Education Committee on April
