Marti Coley, with the help of black magic and Baby Jeebus on her side, succeeded in her quest to insert the word "theory" in Florida's new science standards:
Florida’s current standards require teaching evolution using code words like “change over time.” This is the first time the word “evolution” has been included.
The board narrowly passed the change Tuesday, voting 4-3 after more than an hour of public comment and additional discussion by the board.
The proposal to include “scientific theory” was made late last week. State Rep. Marti Coley, R-Marianna, was one opponent who requested that the board vote to “refer to evolution as a theory.”
Though she received a handful of negative e-mails, Coley said there was overwhelming support from her legislative district to make the addition.
She said it allows students to get “up-to-date scientific information” while discussing other options.
So, thanks Marti Coley (who can be contacted here) for saving us from Satanism!
Next on the agenda: replacing the word AIDS with "gay cancer" and probably replacing school nurses with bottles of leeches.
Marti Coley: Dumbing down Florida students since 2008.
