With the Kansas State Board of Education preparing to vote on new science standards this year, the House Education Committee has introduced a bill asking schools to include evidence against climate change in science classes.

House Bill 2306, introduced last week, says science classes must “provide information to students of scientific evidence which both supports and counters a scientific theory or hypothesis.”

The bill says instruction about “scientific controversies” should be objective and include “both the strengths and weaknesses of such scientific theory or hypothesis.” The only controversy identified in the bill is “climate science.”

No hearings have been scheduled yet for the bill.

1. While I agree

that in cases where an idea isn't conclusive, different perspectives and positions should be presented...why is climate change offered as an example of such?

2. Oh, thats easy...

Because if it's not, that means Science is right, and that means the GOP (and their Corpo Oil Masters) are fucked. And we can't have THAT, now CAN WE????
