Tennessee Evolution Bill Becomes Law

This is bill is not good because it introduces creationism and pseudo science into the classroom. Obviously only valid scientific theories that meet the standards of being considered a scientific theory should be taught as "science. However, by introducing creationism into the science classroom this may be a case of "fruit of the poison tree" meaning that now that creationism and pseudo science have been introduced into a SCIENCE classroom they can be addressed scientifically in an academic setting. In other words teachers could teach the flaws and contradictions in creationism and climate denial under the same law. Teachers may now literally be able to teach against religion in the science classroom by critiquing the alternate theories to evolution protected under the law. I would love to see legal precedent set for this!

I never thought about it that way. Hopefully you're right. Too bad this doesn't apply to history classes- when I get my degree, I could bash the church for witch-burnings and the dark ages!
What falls away is always, and is near.

Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD
