Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Seems like a really weird thing to make into a law. Does West Virginia codify any other part of their curriculum into a statute?
"Creationism is not a scientific theory. Next question?"
My thoughts exactly.
So they're not ordering new text books (yet) they're just allowing teachers to bring it up, and answer questions.
Sounds like it will open the door for crackpot teachers, but it's not "being taught" in the school. Definitely a slippery-slope, hopefully not many teachers indulge.
What's amusing is how the Nat C's are confused about what evolution entails - it does not cover the Big Bang or abiogenesis. But if you get into discussions (if you can call them that) with these types, they will typically use strawmen phrases such as "Molecules to Man" in reference to science.
All they usually do is just repeat a bunch of Gish Gallop horse manure that is just quite a thing to behold in its combined arrogance and ignorance.
But but but muh eyes! How do eyes pop out of nowhere so complex!?
Why are there still monkeys if we evolved from them!?
Checkmate libturds!!
I'm assuming this is a Poe, but Ray Comfort comes to mind anyway.... XD

Poe indeed lol I'm torn on using the /s or not, it depends on just how bad I was at making the joke obvious.
