Thou shall not visit the Ark Encounter or the Creation Museum because they are Christian facilities. That is what the Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF) continues to tell public schools in our country.
FFRF, a Wisconsin-based atheist group formed some 40 years ago, has shared its message with more than 1,000 school districts in five states through letters, according to a press release sent out on Tuesday.
“Ken Ham, the evangelist who built these two notorious theme parks, has been clear about the proselytizing nature of his ventures from the beginning,” FFRF says in its statement.
Pointing to a letter released shortly before the opening of the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Kentucky, in July 2016, FFRF argues that Ham plainly states his motivation behind opening the park..

You can't keep God out of schools because he lives in me.
Why would a school go to Hams parks? They aren't science, nor History. For what legitimate reason would schools visit?
More demoncrat indoctrination!
This whole article is absurd, and full of distortions and deceptions.
The FFRF is NOT an anti Religion organization, in fact it supports our bill of rights and in it's very mission statement says it supports religious liberty and freedom. Their purpose, is to protect against church state violations and over reach.
Ham accuses the FFRF of wanting to impose atheism, I'm not sure what that would even mean or look like, you can not impose rejection of theists claims on anyone or anything... this is absurd. May be he means "eradicate theism"... but the FFRF is not doing anything that looks remotely like that. I'm not sure he knows what he is talking about.
This is about Ken Ham wanting to legitimize his failing "parks" for profit.. and getting school groups there would to that.... the problem is that his parks have no educational value... they aren't "SCIENCE" nor are they "HISTORY"... they are evangelical Christian indoctrination centers that no public School group should ever be going to.
This is not about persecution. This is about a business owner (Ham) using deceptive tactics to try and increase traffic to his parks. No one is saying that kids shouldn't go to the parks, that Church youth groups or religious schools shouldn't go to the parks.
This is about public school field trips. There would be zero reason for a public school to visit his parks.
They would have people believe that Earth is only 7,000 years old. Good grief....
