Texas Bill Outlaws Discrimination Against Creationists In Academia

Posted by Soulskill on Friday March 18, 2011 @03:04AM from the descent-of-man dept.

ndogg writes "There is a Texas bill, HB 2454, proposed by Republican State Rep. Bill Zedler, that will outlaw discrimination against creationists in colleges and universities. More specifically, it says, 'An institution of higher education may not discriminate against or penalize in any manner, especially with regard to employment or academic support, a faculty member or student based on the faculty member's or student's conduct of research relating to the theory of intelligent design or other alternate theories of the origination and development of organisms.'"

It is discrimination against women! You should give them a drug test and then fake the results.
