[lbo-talk] Creationism in the US

[ken hanly]

The Conservative leader in Ontario mentioned
creationism as deserving a hearing in campaigning
during the Ontario provincial election. He has since
been backtracking and explaining that he meant only in
religion classes. However and academic had this to
say:

The issue of funding religious schools is contentious
enough without mentioning "creationism,'' said David
Docherty, dean of arts at Wilfrid Laurier University
in Waterloo.

That stirs up fears Ontario is moving toward the
American model, where "creationism is going to get
equal time with evolution,'' he said.

Is this correct that in US schools creationism gets
equal time with evolution?
