Give Me An “F”! Creationists Fail a Fourth Grade Science Test

[Phillip McCleod]

9. let's talk about the legality, too..

maybe it's legal under current law, but let's consider what types of policies could be legally implemented to address the issue of religion-based 'science' curriculum in schools and home-schools.

seems to me that it is probably constitutional to require students at a religious school that teaches creationism in 'science' class to attend a regular secular school to receive corrective instruction in actual science.

can't stop them from teaching lies, but we can require the students to receive supplemental instruction if the curriculum falls short of basic standards. which teaching creationism *does*.

in cases where religious instruction is *all* the student is receiving, then i think that instruction could be considered supplementary, and the student should be required to attend a regular school full time.
