Evolu-what-tion?

Georgia students could graduate from high school without learning much about evolution, and may never even hear the word uttered in class.

New middle and high school science standards proposed by state Schools Superintendent Kathy Cox strike references to "evolution" and replace them with the term "biological changes over time," a revision critics say will further weaken learning in a critical subject.

Outraged teachers already have told the state it is undercutting the science education of young Georgians.

It makes me wonder . . . is Cox's faith in her god so weak that she's worried about a competing idea? It seems to me that if her religion is the One True Answer, then she shouldn't have any concerns about children learning about evolution cause they'll eventually see the Truth in Cox's religious beliefs.

Via August.
