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.
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

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

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