I thought about how funny being asked for a citation on something so well known as creation science being taught in schools was but after I stopped laughing I thought for any that are interested on a brief history of the court battles and what not, a great time line was done by the guys at ReligiousTolerance.org.

Hasn't been taught since the 60's? Um...you may want to scroll down and read more of that link or do a bit of research yourself. Also the watered down evolution studies that have resulted from the intelligent design pushers has had a hug impact in what is and is not covered in schools.

If you have a specific example, I'm all ears.

It was never taught.

It was added to the curriculum in oct 2004. The lawsuit was won in december 2005. What do you suppose they were teaching in the interim?

The Pennsylvania Academic Standards require students to learn about Darwin's theory of evolution and eventually to take a standardized test of which evolution is a part.

Because Darwin's Theory is a theory, it is still being tested as new evidence is discovered. The Theory is not a fact. Gaps in the Theory exist for which there is no evidence. A theory is defined as a well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations.

Intelligent design is an explanation of the origin of life that differs from Darwin's view. The reference book, Of Pandas and People is available for students to see if they would like to explore this view in an effort to gain an understanding of what intelligent design actually involves.

As is true with any theory, students are encouraged to keep an open mind. The school leaves the discussion of the origins of life to individual students and their families. As a standards-driven district, class instruction focuses upon preparing students to achieve proficiency on standards-based assessments.

boy oh boy...they might as well have been baptizing the kids right there in class.

/it was never taught.

It's still in the classroom. Aside from that, doesn't it bother you at all that people who explain the creation of our universe and the rise of our species with magic are trying to stick their noses in our science classes? The money drained from school districts to fight this crap in court, the time, the effort, the damage it does to the scientific community and so on is both a burden and just plain ridiculous.

Ahem course
