Science ambiguously prevails in Texas education
Creationism failed when social conservatives brought “strengths and weaknesses” back to the table today. A “compromise” prevailed in a 13-2 vote.
The adopted compromise says:
In all fields of science, analyze, evaluate and critique scientific explanations by using empirical evidence, logical reasoning, and experimental and observational testing, including examining all sides of scientific evidence of those scientific explanations so as to encourage critical thinking by the student.
Although that language seems clear, this decades-long battle has a way of knotting itself back up into lawsuits.
Evens so, the “strengths and weaknesses” charade is at this level over. Everything appears to be about implementation now.
