re: #9 Expand Your Ground

one one hand, a school cannot force its students to accept Evolution if it is counter to their religious beliefs. On the ohter hand, failing to teach it is neglecting the task of any school system, which is to educate its students on modern science and scientific theory.

If this bill promotes a discussion of the nature of science, how it works, what it embraces and what it does not embrace, that would be a good thing. But I do not think that sort of discussion was behind the people who passed this bill.

There is a distinct difference between “here is the commonly held scientific theory behind the subject” and “We’re not teaching this because it makes Baby Jesus cry.”
