I think Al's back on your side
During the 2000 presidential election campaign, Bush responded to the Kansas Board of Education’s decree that each of the state’s school districts must teach Creationism alongside evolution. He told the Associated Press, “I’d make it a goal to make sure that local folks got to make the decision as to whether or not they said Creationism has been a part of our history, and whether or not people ought to be exposed to different theories as to how the world was formed.”
Amid the political furor, Al Gore said through a spokesman that although he favored teaching evolution in public schools, the decision should be made at the local level, and that “localities should be free to teach Creationism as well.” However, after the Gore campaign was told that the 1987 Supreme Court decision Edwards v. Aguillard prohibited teaching Creationism because it constituted religious belief, Gore retreated to the more politically correct position that Creationism should only be taught in religion classes.
