From the bill:

A. The department, school district governing authorities and school administrators shall not prohibit any teacher, when biological evolution or chemical evolution is being taught in accordance with adopted standards and curricula, from informing students about relevant scientific information regarding either the scientific strengths or scientific weaknesses pertaining to biological evolution or chemical evolution. A teacher who chooses to provide such information shall be protected from reassignment, termination, discipline or other discrimination for doing so.

That want to place teachers above the law if they should choose to violate the rights of parents, students and to defy the electorate via the school boards.

B. This section pertains solely to the teaching of scientific information and specifically does not protect the promotion of any religion, religious doctrine or religious belief.

Do these people realize there is no scientific information that invalidates the theory of evolution? There is only religious rhetoric.
