This is not defending religious liberty, this is an attempt for the insecure to undermine facts.

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.

What a strange country we live in. I have no issue with someone holding their own religious beliefs. But you can't tell me 2+2 is 5 when it is actually 4 because of your religious beliefs.

That's not what the bill says.  (But I do agree that you live in a strange country.)

So, according with the interpretation, its a law that has no action. I suppose those lawmakers need to show work done to their voters, to justify their paychecks. Heh, can't blame them.

That's probably the fairest assessment of the law so far.

Its the fairest outcome, but not the fairest assessment. Ohio is a battleground state for nutballs selling jesus. They are emphatically not interested in religious liberty, of any kind, which is a term of art...for nutballs selling jesus.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

So wait, if Christians claim to be pro science then why do they need laws to allow them to go against science?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

You need a book on situational ethics, I think.
