U.S. funds earmarked for anti-Darwin group

WASHINGTON, 23 (UPI) -- Louisiana Republican Sen. David Vitter earmarked $100,000 for a group, headed by former political associates, that opposes teaching evolution in schools.

The money is set aside for the Louisiana Family Forum in the labor, health and education financing bill for fiscal 2008, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reported Sunday. The group is being paid "to develop a plan to promote better science education."
