HB 1674 is a dangerous bill that threatens the future of the entire education system.
"On Tuesday, the Oklahoma Common Education committee is expected to consider a House bill that would forbid teachers from penalizing students who turn in papers attempting to debunk almost universally accepted scientific theories such as biological evolution and anthropogenic (human-driven) climate change."
"HB 1674 is the latest in an ongoing series of "academic freedom" bills aimed at watering down the teaching of science on highly charged topics such as evolution and climate change [without penalty such as a failing grade]"
Stated another way, students could make untestable, faith-based claims in science classes without fear of receiving a poor mark.
