New Science Standards Approved in Florida

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the thinking-of-the-voters-not-the-children dept.

anonymous_echidna writes "Florida has voted to accept the new K-12 science curriculum standards amidst a storm of controversy around the teaching of evolution, which had up until now been the scientific concept that dare not speak its name. There was a compromise made at the last minute, which was to call evolution a 'scientific theory', rather than a fact. While some lament that the change displays the woeful ignorance of science and scientific terminology, the good news is that the new curriculum emphasizes teaching the meaning of scientific terms and the scientific method in earlier grades."

    I also find it hard to believe that they evolved.

    No one has witnessed Macro-Evolution (changes from one species to another).

    There is nothing complex about religion.

    Religion is a few stupid people telling other, more gullible, stupid people how to live using a bunch of fairy tales.

    "We" do know how this world came about and there was no god involved. Your post is so full of ignorance and stupidity I am surprised you can manage to use a web browser.
