Debate Over teaching Evolution Moves To Florida.
I don’t know whether it is because Jeb Bush is the Governor and he is related to GW Bush of the Whitehouse and former Governor of Texas but Florida is experiencing a problem with Evolution being taught in Schools. The new standards for teaching Science in Public Schools have meant Evolution is being called Evolution for the first time and a deeper curriculum is required of teachers. Florida is making every effort to raise the standard of it’s students who are not performing well in National Standards tests.
This has resulted in opposition to evolution and the Intelligent Design hypothesis being presented as a viable alternative alongside evolution. This is of course not true, the Intelligent Design Hypothesis has no scientific support, verification at all, and is not falsifiable under the rules science operates.
They haven’t understood the Dover, Pennsylvania case, Kitzmiller vs. Board of education, which was classified by a Federal Judge as a religious attempt and against the US Constitution, you know, where the Government may not make any law prescribing Religion, yes, that one.
I will watch this case too and report back or if you have anything to add please do so.
