If the student was raised in a FOX news household he`s obviously going to need a little help to catch up to the class. It`s not the student`s fault.
Fox News is on about as often as CNN in my household. My sons' education was hampered more by my younger son's being on the autism spectrum, albeit high functioning. And my 79 IQ doesn't help since smart parents often equals smart offspring.

You got it backwards as liberals usually do. The CNN "raised" teachers give the CNN "raised" students an A for C work and the FOX "raised" students a C for A work. That's basically what this law was addressing.
I agree with your opinion, but I read through that Ohio document and did not see where it explicitly states that a student can give wrong answers based on religion. "..shall not punish or reward a student based on the religious content of the student's work." I take this to mean, for example, if a student draws an angel in art class he should not be penalized because of the religious nature of the work.
Good catch. That's the plain language interpretation. The ultimate interpretation will rest with the courts, because I'm sure someone will challenge it.

Evolution has been proven. More than once. The fact that your knowledge is outdated by 60 years because you don't keep up with scientific discoveries is not convincing.
In once of the several instances where Evolution was witnessed recently, a single-celled organism evolved in a laboratory right in front of the eyes of astonished researchers.
For many people, Evolution is poorly taught in schools and usually poorly taught by someone who doesn't quite get it.
You can tell who understands and who doesn't, because those who don't understand often equivocate Evolution with Natural Selection. They are not the same thing. Natural Selection takes place after Evolution has already happened.
Mutations can occur naturally. It may be simply bad DNA replication, or can be coerced by internal or external factors such something the organism consumed (internal) or exposure to natural background radiation (external). Natural background radiation has decreased over time from a point where you would be dead in 20 minutes to a point where it's just a nuisance.
Mutations can be deadly, resulting in an organisms death in utero or being stillborn or dying shortly after birth and before it reaches sexual maturity, or benign, which does not harm or impede the organism's functioning (like blue eyes or feather color or fur color) or present as morphological changes.
After the organism has evolved, the process of Natural Selection begins. The organism will either be able to survive in its current ecosystem, carve out a niche in its current ecosystem, move to a new ecosystem and flourish or it will die. An organism may reproduce for a time before ultimately failing after one or more generations because the mutation proved to be harmful or produced no benefit.
If you bothered to notice, lower order organisms have a greater diversity of species than higher order organisms. That's for two reasons: one, they've existed on Earth longer and two, they reach sexual maturity faster and produce larger numbers of off-spring, in the hundreds and thousands at a time.

This is very much on topic. This type of anti-science teaching was starting by the LGBT organizations. Now that it's coming back in a way they don't like, they are upset, and the OP is a very VERY vocal anti-Christian, proLGBT poster.
So maybe we need to remove BOTH ideologies from the classroom and stick with actual SCIENCE? Think they would go for that?
Congrats LGBT orgs. You "won."
As the article only addresses the one issue this is not an open discussion on every element of what is taught in a science course. The topic you are speaking of is not being taught in the schools here but Evolution is a curriculum standard nation wide in public schools.
Again start another post to address your concern, but standby for all the opinions that come out..
But the left demands that public schools should allow muslim students to pray and read religious material during school hours.
Actually, we don't. I'd prefer that no religious activity at all be allowed during regular school hours. But if christian students are allowed prayer time, then muslims, hindus, sikhs, jews, wiccans, etc., get to have it too.
