Tennessee Bill Helps Teachers Challenge Evolution

Posted by Soulskill on from the dueling-with-zombie-darwin dept.

sciencehabit writes "In a 70-28 vote yesterday, the Tennessee House of Representatives passed HB 368 (PDF), a bill that encourages science teachers to explore controversial topics without fear of reprisal. Critics say the measure will enable K-12 teachers to present intelligent design and creationism as acceptable alternatives to evolution in the classroom. If the bill passes, Tennessee would join Louisiana as the second state to have specific 'protection' for the teaching of evolution in the classroom."

    In the interest of open dialog that truly allows learning and discovery, I pray the opposite of you. I pray that a teacher will actually question the so called science of evolution, as something not observable or repeatable.

      Your logic skills are fucking awful. Its hilarious that you're standing up for science while being a complete jackshit retard when it comes to basic logic.
