On April 7th, Arkansas's House Bill 1701 passed the House with a vote of 72 to 21. This bill would allow Christian beliefs to be taught in public schools. Representative Mary Bentley sponsored this bill stating that HB 1701 will result in healthy classroom debates. This bill will let public schools teach students in grades K-12 about the Christian theory of creationism by a divine entity. The same law was considered by the United States Supreme Court in 1987 and rejected. State Representative Deborah Ferguson challenged the bill's legality, asking why would we teach creationism when the judicial system has repeatedly ruled that it is illegal. Senator Greg Leding noted that he would vote against HB 1701. Rene Shroate-Lewis, a professor at the University of Arkansas, a Christian, stated that it might confuse the young students if they are taught the creation theory in their formative years.
