Here in TN, they have taken steps though new legislation to allow creationism back into the classroom. This law turns the clock back nearly 100 years here in the seemingly unprogressive South and is simply embarrassing. There is no argument against the Theory of Evolution other than that of religious doctrine. The Monkey Law only opens the door for fanatic Christianity to creep its way back into our classrooms. You can see my visual response as a Tennessean to this absurd law on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2012/04/pulpit-in-classroom-biblical-agenda-in.html with some evolutionary art and a little bit of simple logic.
Back when I lived in Cincinnati, a few friends of mine visited the Creation Museum (it was free on Christmas Day). It was halarious. They have little diaramas of people drowning during the flood; others stranded on rocks fighting bearcubs! In the ark construction, they show little dinosaurs next to all the people.
We laughed so much, I'm really surprised we didn't get kicked out. It was also kinda sad too. You see all the kids there, and all the true believers....
