Starting out 2013 with no Creationism in New Orleans schools
I just read this, and it's such good news!

The Orleans Parish School Board, which controls the curriculum and policies for six schools in New Orleans, voted Tuesday to ban the teaching of creationism as science and a "revisionist" history course touted in Texas.
The newly approved policy bans teachers from including "any aspect of religious faith" in science courses and from using history textbooks adjusted to include Christianity.
The first part regarding textbooks reads: “No history textbook shall be approved which has been adjusted in accordance with the State of Texas revisionist guidelines nor shall any science textbook be approved which presents creationism or intelligent design as science or scientific theories."

right on!
I hope other school systems all over this nation do the same thing. School is NOT Bible School. Religion belongs in churches and the community. Education (reading, writing and arithmetic) belongs in schools.
No ifs, ands, or buts. Period.
