§286.5. Clarifications
This Subpart does not require any instruction in the subject of origins but simply
permits instruction in both scientific models (of evolution-science and creation-science) if
public schools choose to teach either. This Subpart does not require each individual textbook
or library book to give balanced treatment to the models of evolution-science and creation-science; it does not require any school books to be discarded. This Subpart does not require
each individual classroom lecture in a course to give such balanced treatment but simply
permits the lectures as a whole to give balanced treatment; it permits some lectures to present
evolution-science and other lectures to present creation-science.
NOTE: The Balanced Treatment for Creation-Science and Evolution-Science
Act, R.S. 17:286.1 to 286.7, was held unconstitutional in Edwards v.
Aguillard , La. 1987, 107 S.Ct. 2573, 96 L.Ed.2d 510.
