As far too many adults in Louisiana seem determined to push their fundamentalist Christianity on the state's children, it has fallen to a high school student to
fight for reality-based science education. Zack Kopplin, a senior at Baton Rouge Magnet High School, is at the forefront on efforts to repeal the
Louisiana Science Education Act (LSEA). Passed in 2008, the LSEA encourages public school science teachers to include creationism in their classes.
It is great to see that efforts are underway to repeal this absurd law. We are facing
similar legislation here in Mississippi, and while efforts to derail it have been successful so far, I will be surprised if we do not see it return.
