Every year at the Values Voter Summit in September, the Religious Right makes sure to put its young activists in the limelight. They serve as a reminder (and a warning) that the fundamentalist political agenda will be pushed for years to come.

Fortunately, advocates of church-state separation have our own youth activists ready to take them on. Baton Rouge, La., high school senior Zack Kopplin is a good example.

In February, Kopplin launched a campaign to repeal the Louisiana Science Education Act (LSEA), a measure that Gov. Bobby Jindal signed into law in 2008. Back then, Americans United warned that it was merely another attempt by creationists to slip fundamentalist religion into public school science courses.

It’s time for more youngsters to follow in Kopplin’s footsteps. Teaching creationism, a religious belief, in public schools violates the Constitution and contradicts several Supreme Court rulings. Today’s kids should know their rights and not be afraid to take a stance. After all, it’s their future at stake.
