Florida's proposed science standards sideline evolution and climate change

Original: Florida’s proposed science standards sideline evolution and climate change

Draft science education standards in Florida would weaken how evolution and climate change are taught in public schools, presenting the topics in limited or diminished ways. Critics, including educators and science advocates, say the standards open the door to misinformation, while supporters argue for more local control over what students learn. The proposals are under public review and have drawn national attention as part of ongoing debates over science education in the United States.

Why now: Ongoing political and cultural debates over how climate change and evolution are taught in American schools have made the proposals controversial.
