Florida's proposed science standards sideline evolution and climate change
Original: Florida’s proposed science standards sideline evolution and climate change
New draft science standards in Florida are drawing criticism for downplaying two core scientific topics: evolution and climate change. Under the proposals, lessons on these subjects would be reduced or reframed, prompting concerns from educators and science advocates that students in the state will receive a weaker grounding in established science. Supporters of the standards argue the changes give local communities more control over how sensitive topics are taught.
Why now: Ongoing political debates over how schools teach climate change and evolution are making education standards a flashpoint in Florida.
