According to the Feb. 24 article referenced below, the Oklahoma House passed a bill Monday, 96 - 0 that would require public school textbooks that discuss evolution to include a disclaimer. The disclaimer states, in part:
“This textbook discusses evolution, a controversial theory which some scientists present as scientific explanation for the origin of living things, such as plants and humans. No one was present when life first appeared on earth. Therefore, any statement about life’s origins should be considered as theory, not fact.”
The bill has been passed on to the Oklahoma Senate.
