I don't think that this angle is going to be successful.
States do have the right to set the content of their curriculum.
They can't stop the teacher from saying what he wants outside the school, but in the context of the education system, they do get to decide what goes.
The Scopes trial dealt with this point:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scopes_trial
Yeah, because a famously anti-science trial against a teacher accused of teaching science in science class is a GREAT jurisprudence to look to! 🙄
It's not about the material in question, it's about if a state employed teacher has the right to override the curriculum. They do not.
Yeah, I still call bullshit. Legislating against the right of a teacher to teach well-documented science in science class isn't about the teacher "overriding the curriculum".
It's about the state trying to override reality with lies and compelling teachers to do so as well.
Say I believed the earth is flat, and provided 'well documented science' that the earth is flat. Who's to say that I shouldn't be doing that? Or what if in social studies class I provided proof that men were superior to women?
The law is clearly in the moral wrong in our current situation, but in general it provides more protections than it does harm. The problem isn't with Tennessee vs Scopes. The problem is with the Republican agenda.
That's not equivalent since there is no such thing.
Every person who doesn't subscribe to your fringe hypothesis. So roughly 8.1 billion people.
Again, you don't seem at all familiar with how scientific proof works.
Also: factually and in every other way.
Nope. It's states trying to remove every mention of LGBTQ+ people and racial equality, not rogue teachers.
