West Virginia Republican Gov. Jim Justice has signed a law that supporters say promotes the free exchange of ideas in science classrooms
West Virginia Republican Gov. Jim Justice signed a law Friday that supporters say promotes the free exchange of ideas in science classrooms, despite objections from opponents who said the vaguely worded measure could allow for the incursion of religion into public schools. The legislation allows public school teachers to answer student questions 'about scientific theories of how the universe and/or life came to exist.
A federal court in Pennsylvania ruled in 2005 that a public school could not require the teaching of the concept because intelligent design 'is not science” and that it “cannot uncouple itself from its creationist, and thus religious, antecedents.” Hurricane High School juniors Hayden Hodge and Hunter Bernard, both 16, said they are both religious but that intelligent design is not a religious argument and does not mention anything about God.
