Tennessee "Teaching the Controversy" Bill Becomes Law


MrKevvy writes "The Tennessee 'Teaching the Controversy' bill was passed into law today. 'A law to allow public school teachers to challenge the scientific consensus on issues like climate change and evolution will soon take effect in Tennessee. State governor Bill Haslam allowed the bill — passed by the state House and Senate — to become law without signing it, saying he did not believe the legislation "changes the scientific standards that are taught in our schools."'"The governor adds: "However, I also don’t believe that it accomplishes anything that isn’t already acceptable in our schools."
