Description | The last Miss California to make headlines was Carrie Prejean, an evangelical Christian who discussed her opposition to gay marriage during the 2009 Miss USA pageant and went on to defend her conservative position.
This year’s Miss California, Alyssa Campanella, went on to take the title of Miss USA and is making headlines for another reason.
USA Today’s Faith & Reason reports that during an off-air interview with judges, Campanella said that evolution should be taught in public schools.
“I was taught evolution in high school. I do believe in it. I’m a huge science geek…I like to believe in the big bang theory and, you know, the evolution of humans throughout time,” she said. |
