MADISON, Wisc. \u2014 A professing atheist activist organization is expressing its objection to three public schools that either have already or plan to visit Ken Ham\u2019s Creation Museum in Kentucky.<\/p>\n

The Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) recently sent letters to officials with Brookville High School in Dayton, Ohio, Jackson Independent School District in Kentucky, and the Big Beaver Falls School District in Pennsylvania to urge the cancellation of the trips to Petersburg.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is unconstitutional for a public school to take students on a field trip to a religious venue such as the Creation Museum, a Christian museum which promotes the religious doctrine of creationism and lists is mission as \u2018to point today\u2019s culture back to the authority of Scripture and proclaim the gospel message,’\u201d the letters read.<\/p>\n

A press release from the organization also notes that Ham\u2019s 75,0000 square foot museum features \u201ca diorama of a human and a dinosaur together, implying that they existed simultaneously. Each display contrasts science with a literalist interpretation of the Bible.\u201d<\/p>\n

FRRF says that the school trips to the Creation Museum \u201cexcludes non-Christian and non-religious students\u201d and are not permissible even though attendance is voluntary and comes at no cost to the districts.
