Alabama will require students to learn about evolution, climate change

Alabama is updating its decade-old science standards to require that students understand evolution and learn about climate change, topics that can still be controversial in the Bible Belt state.

Educators say the new rules — part of a major change that includes more experimentation and hands-on instruction and less lecturing — don't require that students believe in evolution or accept the idea that climate is changing globally.

But public school students will be required for the first time to understand the theory of evolution. And teachers will be required to address climate change, which wasn't a focus the last time the state set science standards in 2005.

The new standards take effect in 2016 after being unanimously approved by the Republican-controlled Alabama State Board of Education on Thursday.

No one spoke against the new standards when they were discussed at a board meeting in August, but supporters praised them as a step forward for the state.

A 40-member committee that developed the new course of study included people with "very strong religious beliefs" who considered the state's faith traditions and worked together to develop the new guidelines, said Michal Robinson, science specialist for the state education agency.

"We still have to teach what the science is," Robinson said in an interview Friday. "If students want to go into a science field in college or beyond, they have to have a foundation."

The current state standard says students "should understand the nature of evolutionary theories," but such knowledge isn't required.

Good.

If the students can truly grasp evolution, it will become apparent that climate change is a fraud. Looks like a win-win, if taught properly.

Uh oh better send Kim Davis down there ASAP to defend the faith!!!

They should also be forced to take probability and statistics too.
Might help them understand better the chances of evolution being a reality in the first place.

Look out boys and girls, we have someone who denies evolution on the board.. Talk about stupidity.

actually, I didn't deny anything. I only pointed out that along with the theory, the mathematics should be included.
however if you see an issue with the chances, maybe you are denying evolution?
