On Education: Opposes teaching creation science in public schools

A bill by Sen. Dennis Kruse introduced sweeping changes to the role religion plays in public schools, opening the door for schools to teach courses on creation science and Bible studies. It passed out of the education committee in an 8-2 vote, with Sen. Mark Stoops and Eddie Melton voting against.

Should SB 373 become law, public high schools will be able to count time spent by a student on optional religious instruction as academic credit.
