[ Washington 2002 Senate Bill 6500 ]

AN ACT Relating to the teaching of the theory of evolution in the common schools of the state of Washington; and adding a new section to chapter 28A.230 RCW.
ワシントン州公立学校での進化論教育についての州法
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. A new section is added to chapter 28A.230 RCW to read as follows:
(1) The legislature finds that the Enabling Act for the state of Washington requires that the state Constitution not be repugnant to the principles of the Declaration of Independence.
(2) The Declaration of Independence declares the self-evident truth that all men are created. The Declaration of Independence also declares that our rights are endowed by the Creator, and that governments are instituted among men to secure these God-given rights.
(3) The Preamble to the Washington state Constitution also acknowledges the Supreme Ruler of the Universe as the grantor of our liberties.
(4) Article I, section 1 of the Washington state Constitution also declares that governments are established to protect and maintain individual rights, which rights are already acknowledged in the preamble as being granted by the Creator.
(5) RCW 28A.405.030 requires all teachers to teach the principles of truth and to instruct their pupils in the principles of free government in the common schools of the state of Washington. The self-evident truth that all men were created and endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights and that governments are accountable both to the Creator and the people to secure those rights is the foundation of all political, civil, and religious liberty in America.
(5) RCW 28A.405.030 はワシントン州公立学校の全教師に真理の原理を教え、自由政府の原理を生徒に指導することを義務付けている。人間が奪われざる権利により創造主に創造されたという自明の真理と、創造主と人々の両方に対して、その権利を擁護する説明責任を政府が負っていることが、米国の政治的・市民的・宗教的自由の基盤である。
(6) Both the United States Constitution and the Washington state Constitution were instituted to protect rights endowed by the Creator.
(7) All state legislators in the state of Washington swear an oath to uphold the Constitutions of the United States and the state of Washington.
(8) The legislature finds that the teaching of the theory of evolution in the common schools of the state of Washington is repugnant to the principles of the Declaration of Independence and thereby unconstitutional and unlawful.
(9) All textbooks and curriculum that teach the theory of evolution shall be removed from the public schools forthwith and replaced with textbooks and curriculum that teach the self-evident truth of creation.
(9)進化論を教育する教科書及びカリキュラムを公立学校から直ちに撤去し、自明の創造の真理を教える教科書とカリキュラムで置き換える。
