The problem in the bill is decide *which* academic standards are to be used. Let's give a scenario.
Suppose we are in a geology class and the teacher asks when the Jurassic period was. One student gives ana answer of 8250 years ago.
Can the teacher mark it wrong?
The student claims that this is the correct answer according to their religion and it conforms to the conclusions of the Institute for Creation Research, so it passes *their* religions academic standards.
According to this law, as stated, the teacher cannot give the student a lower grade for that answer.
And that is fundamentally wrong.
