A new bill proposed in Florida would allow school districts to teach alternatives to “controversial theories” such as human-caused climate change and evolution.
State Sen. Dennis Baxley (R) sponsored the bill because he said that schools need to have the ability to teach “different worldviews,” according to the Tampa Bay Times.
===============================================
The Repubs are still at it, trying to get the Bible & the Genesis account of Creation into public schools as 'alternative POVs.' This sort of thing has been struck down by the courts before as a violation of the separation of church & state.
Teaching climate change denial in a sea level state where the rising sea level from the melting glaciers & ice caps is already impacting coastal property is just silly.
This sort of thing will do more harm by confusing young students than in educating them to have open minds.
