The Dover school district in Pennsylvania spent a lot of time and wasted a lot of money getting themselves slapped down in federal court back in 2005. Indiana is apparently jealous or ignorant and wants its turn in the barrel.

This might also be one of those silly season bills, introduced to placate a bunch of ninnyhammers, but that will never get out of committee.
