Alabama will require students to learn about evolution, climate change

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Evolution isn't against believing in a creator God, how silly of the liberal left to think so. But I do understand how the left believes they are decedents from apes.

I also hope that whoever teaches evolution will be truthful about how homosexuality goes against the theory. Doubtful that they will.

Climate change? Hopefully they teach the truth and tell how the US has not warmed in the past 15 or so years. How the predictions from the models just didn't cut it. But again, doubtful.

The comprehensive ignorance of this speaks for itself.

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.

Alabama will force feed leftist propaganda.

and you filth cheer

Given their hostility to the truth and propensity of many on the right to lie, your post being one of many examples, you and other conservatives are in no position to refer to anyone else as 'filth.'

No one teaches that we're descended from apes. We have a common ancestor.

Was the common ancestor an ape or man?

This type of ignorance is both remarkable and disturbing.

And the evidence mounts that this sort of ignorance is a contributing factor to conservatism.

You force your belief system on my children, that makes you filth. Anti-American, Anti-Freedom, filth

Teaching factual science isn't "forcing beliefs" on someone.

The cool thing about facts and science is that they are true whether or not you believe them.

evolution is a theory

not a fact
a theory

that's why we don't want you theories forced on people. You see, sheep, like you, think everything they are taught by the system is fact, even when they use the word theory.
