And it also more explicitly tries to prevent administrators from doing anything about it if they have a teacher that's doing this kind of thing.

Those states are Tennessee and Louisiana.

Matski used to work for the National Center for Science Education, the NCSE,

which tracks these legislative efforts to get religiously motivated creationism

and its thinly disguised offshoots like intelligent design into public school classrooms.

Matski and the NCSE were involved in the Kitsmiller v. Dover case in Pennsylvania,

in which the judge found the inclusion of intelligent design in the biology curriculum

to be a violation of the First Amendment.

December 20th marks the 10th anniversary of that decision.

But dozens of similar bills that do not explicitly mention creationism

or intelligent design have been proposed since. Over the years, I had kept in touch with
