Here we are in 2019 and Christian scum keep trying to dumb down science education because evolution makes them cry.
States introduce bills to teach evolution as debatable theory
Texas is the eighth state this year to introduce legislation that would protect teachers who present science, including evolution, as a debatable theory. Critics contend these bills are a way to open the door to religion in the classroom.
The Lone Star State joins Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Oklahoma and South Dakota as states that have proposed so-called academic freedom or “teach the controversy” bills, which allow public school teachers to include “opposing points of view or beliefs” when teaching scientific topics like global warming, evolution and the origins of life.
Louisiana (2008) and Tennessee (2012) have both passed laws that allow teachers to introduce religious materials in science classes as supplementary texts. When Louisiana’s school board voted to update its science standards on March 7, the revisions passed only after the inclusion of language reminding teachers about the 2008 law, AP reported. The revised standards are set to go into effect for the 2018-2019 academic year.

Louisiana, where “teach the controversy” is already in effect, ranks poorly in science testing results compared to other states, AP reported.

There is no controversy about the basic facts of evolution. For example we know human apes share an ancestor with chimpanzee apes. There are zero competent biologists who deny this established truth.
In Idiot Louisiana the students learn nothing about evolution. They learn how to hate science because they think it's boring.
I never met a Christian who wasn't a stupid fucking asshole.

"Louisiana (2008) and Tennessee (2012) have both passed laws that allow teachers to introduce religious materials in science classes as supplementary texts."
This is a violation of our Establishment Clause, also known as our Wall of Separation between Church and State. These stupid fucking assholes who are destroying science education would lose in court but the students and parents don't care because they're all anti-science Christian assholes.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
