Under Galliher's plan, a student could spend the morning learning evolution in a science class and then leave in the afternoon to be told by a fundamentalist minister that what he learned in class is all wrong.
How exactly will this help the state of Alabama?
Worse yet, Galliher's bill allows for students to receive academic credit for the religion classes they take. Here's where the bill really goes off the rails. It's bad enough to let students disrupt the school day by leaving for a Bible study or indoctrination in creationism. Giving them academic credit for it is misguided and possibly unconstitutional.
