Of course, the USA has Edwards v. Aguillard.

That hasn't stopped the ignorant assholes from teaching creationism in many schools in the country.

permitted if it were done in a secular manner and as one "scientific" theory among others that would explain the origin of humans.

Am I reading that wrong?

Just like Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District ended intelligent design teaching in public schools.

Unfortunately, the creationists' strategies have evolved ( ). They are busy, busy, busy. In especially Louisiana and Texas the state legislatures have gone with charter schools, mostly religiously based, to blur the lines between public and private education... Or to put it more accurately, to turn education into edumacation.

It is a very sad affair.

And don't get me started about education on global climate change.

Hope you are well, my friend.

Doing pretty well, longship. Hope you are well also.

Here's hoping a few U.S. states will follow!

State schools, including church-aided ones, are required to teach the national curriculum, including evolution not creationism in science classes; but there was a lot of ambiguity about the new 'free schools'(approximately equivalent to American 'charter schools'), which have a lot more freedom as to what to teach.
