Arkansas Bill Lets Teachers Promote Creationism and Intelligent Design in Science Class
This bill lets teachers preach Christianity in class.

Creationism and Intelligent Design should not be taught in science classes. It's not science. It's fine if you'd like to have them in a world religion class but these concepts have no scientific evidence backing the claims they make.

This is preaching and not teaching. Also, I'd bet $10 that they're only wanting to preach the creationism myth of Christianity and not the myths of the: Cherokee, Sumeria, Greek, Maya, Islam, Buddhism, etc.

If you're interested in other creation myths check out the +CrashCourse Mythology videos that just started up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeX6CX5LEj0

Harm would be somewhat mitigated if they were made to teach the others too. It would help highlight the difference between the scientific method and the making shit up method.
