Florida Hates Science

The creationism advocate in this video puts the “duh” in Florida. Florida’s Board of Education voted 4-3 (finally!) to include evolution in its scientific curriculum. However, it must be taught as the “Scientific Theory of Evolution.”

From ThinkProgress :

A recent St. Petersburg Times poll of Florida residents found that “only 22 percent want public schools to teach an evolution-only curriculum, while 50 percent want only faith-based theories such as creationism or intelligent design.” A 2005 national review gave Florida’s science standards a failing grade because of its “superficiality of the treatment of evolutionary biology.”
