Judge strikes down Arkansas creation science law
Federal Judge William Overton ruled Arkansas creation science law unconstitutional and a violation of church state separation. The decision, described as an exceptionally tight opinion, means creation science cannot be taught to balance evolution in state schools. The attorney for the ACLU said there is no chance for appeal or legislative fix. Arkansas officials signaled potential appeal, but the judge noted the act was passed to advance religion and cited admissions by the bill’s author and sponsor.
