https://www.science.org/content/article/west-virginia-opens-door-teaching-intelligent-designLast year this boob tried to slip in teaching intelligent design by adding one sentence to a decades old act to allow teaching intelligent design in the public schools. The bill didn't make it to the governor. This year she took out the words "intelligent design" but admits that intelligent design could be taught using her legislation. It is sort of like Louisiana not stating what they wanted to teach about scientific creationism. The Supreme court ruled that even though the dishonest legislators tried to slip it through, there was little doubt about what they wanted to teach. If the governor signs this bill we will see how it gets interpreted.
This again is testing the ID perp's "not required" to be taught scam. They are not requiring ID to be taught, they are even lying about wanting to teach it, so we will see how it goes if some stupid, ignorant and likely dishonest teacher wants to use it to support their religious beliefs in the science class. Really, how honest could a teacher be at this point after decades of the ID scam bait and switch going down on any hapless rubes that have wanted to teach the lame junk in the public schools. No school board or legislator that has wanted to teach ID in the public schools has ever gotten any ID science to teach from the ID perps at the Discovery Institute. There has never been a public school lesson plan put out for evaluation, and the Discovery Institute used to claim that Of Pandas and People could be used as a text to teach the junk, but that ended after the name change from creationism to ID was exposed in Kitzmiller.
I went to the ID scam unit web site at the Discovery Institute and it looks like they did not refill the staff position that they had for the person that was responsible for running the bait and switch on hapless rubes that wanted to teach ID in the public schools. She left after running the bait and switch on the Utah rubes back in 2017. It looks like Oklahoma and West Virginia have been missed. My guess is that the ID perps needed to save money and didn't think that they needed someone to track the rubes and make sure that the bait and switch went down. It looks like they were wrong. As crazy as it may seem there are still creationist rubes that want to teach the junk when the bait and switch has been going down for over 2 decades, and no one has ever gotten any ID science to teach. All anyone has ever gotten is an obfuscation and denial switch scam that the creationists do not like because they do not want to teach their kids enough science for them to understand what they have to deny.
