Dear Friends of NCSE,

The effort to repeal Louisiana's antievolution law was stymied in
committee. Creationism is officially unwelcome in Britain's new free
schools. Previously in Louisiana, the Baton Rouge Advocate endorsed
the effort to repeat the state's antievolution law, while Barbara
Forrest explained in detail why the effort is necessary.
