Earlier this year House Bill 481 was submitted to the Ohio State Assembly. The bill addresses the issue of teaching "origins science" in the Ohio public schools. The carefully crafted bill scrupulously follows the intent of recent Supreme Court decisions and attempts to implement the 2002 U.S. Education Bill, specifically its Santorum Amendment.

Quoting directly from HB 481:

“Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch” (Matthew 27:65,66).

“Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations” (I Peter 1:6).

“But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name” (John 1:12).

When I was a child, I sometimes went with my father to one of his speaking engagements. It was always a great father/son time but he was also making sure the truth was transferred to his son. As soon as my kids were old enough, they started going with me on my speaking trips, for the very same reasons.
