An amended version of Florida's Senate Bill 2962 -- the "Evolution Academic Freedom Act" -- passes 71-43 in a House vote.

It now has to go back to the Senate.

  • @neuronstorm "Will there also be a special bill to allow people the freedom to question gravity?"

    Don't forget about the flat Earth people, and according to the Discovery Institute, astrology should also be taught.

  • And then he went on to discuss how we need to boost military funding, and buy new nuclear missiles.

  • Just to add, this bill was defeated in Florida a little while ago. Unfortunately, there are virtually identical 'academic freedom' bills being introduced in other states.

  • In order for students to properly CRITICALLY analyze evolution, they must have access to top research facilities and grant money. As truly questioning a scientific theory requires physical evidence for the contrary theory. As the country does not want to waste funds on children dicking about with grant money, this is not economically feasible.

  • "regarding how the world began"

    evolution has NOTHING to do with how the world began.

  • oh wow.. the US government singling out evolution for special criticism in classrooms? How retarded.

    Will there also be a special bill to allow people the freedom to question gravity?

    (practical classes involving a clifftop and no parachutes might help some people too)

  • Very true, the issue lies with ABIOGENESIS, not evolution for fucks sake! I reckon half the US population need to do highschool biology again.

  • hehehe, and Bush is very scientific every time he sends more troops to Iraq. I think I've heard that Bush talks with the "Designer" very often. hehehe

  • "Science leads to killing people."

  • EVOLUTION IS NOT THE WAY BY WHICH THE WORLD CAME ABOUT!!! SPECIES DIVERSIFICATION ONLY!!!!

    What does it take to get a scientifically literate media?
