Creationism in Public School Books in Louisiana. (VIDEO)

"Earlier this week, The New Star published an article questioning the way Louisiana goes about its funding of nonpublic schools. According to the state's constitution, all nonpublic schools must certify that it has "curriculum or specialized course of study of quality at least equal to that prescribed for similar public schools." This has prompted some critics to point out the sorry state of affairs found in many private and parochial schools in Louisiana — institutions that brazenly tout a creationist agenda. And indeed, a closer look at the educational literature reveals a definite anti-science bias.

As The New Star is reporting, it's not clear that the state's requirements are being met before it dishes out millions of dollars to private and parochial schools."
