Kentucky's New Science Standards Draw Heated Debate

[A Little Weird]

FRANKFORT (AP) - Supporters of Kentucky's new science education standards said the changes are needed to keep pace with other states and prepare students for college and careers. Opponents countered that the standards are "fascist" and "atheistic."

The Courier-Journal reports that the majority of comments during a Tuesday hearing on the new standards came from critics who questioned the validity of evolution and climate change. They railed against the standards as a threat to religious liberty, at times drawing comparisons to Soviet-style communism.

I'm not sure if you can still comment on the standards. I am going to try and submit a comment of support. We can't let the state become even more of a theocracy without a fight.
