Good thing the Institute for Creation Research may soon get to offer a Masters of Science Education in Texas. That way teachers will be prepared to “teach the controversy.”

Lets continue to push for an opening for the Institute for Creation Research. This battle in Texas will not be easy, however if ICR is evaluated based on their science it should be a breeze.
The evolutionist religion is so strong that if people oppose it, they will anything to sensor you.
