New Florida Science Standards
By Henry Neufeld New science standards for [tag]Florida[/tag] public schools are now available for review (HT: Florida Citizens for Science. These look very good, but there will inevitably be conflict about the issue of evolution.
There was also a good article on this process in the Orlando Sentinel (again HT: Florida Citizens for Science.
Interested parties should read and comment on these standards. Though I would expect that the evolution items will generate more controversy than others, the key issue here is not evolution, but sound science education in all areas.
Thanks to the dedicated folks who participated in writing these new standards for our state.
