Missouri: Critical Analysis Endorsed by House Education Panel
AP: A Missouri House education panel endorsed legislation Thursday that calls for a critical analysis of scientific theories, with the bill sponsor saying he doesn't want students to just accept evolution as scientific fact.
Rep. Wayne Cooper, R-Camdenton, the bill's sponsor, said part of the bill's intent is to protect teachers who want to engage students in a discussion of the controversy surrounding the concept of evolution.
In other words, the bill is designed to empower creationists to teach what the want.
