Florida science standards criticized as step backwards on evolution, climate
Original: Florida’s new science standards ‘moving backwards’ on evolution, climate change, experts say
Florida has adopted new science education standards that experts say weaken the teaching of evolution and climate change. Science educators and advocates told the Orlando Sentinel the revised benchmarks represent a step backwards for science instruction in the state's public schools. Critics argue the changes could leave Florida students less prepared on widely accepted scientific consensus.
Why now: Experts and educators are publicly criticizing Florida's newly adopted science standards as a retreat on evolution and climate change education.
