http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/15/oklahoma-rejects-science-standards_n_5333578.html?utm_hp_ref=politicsA new set of educational science standards was voted on in an Oklahoma House of Representatives committee that could induce children to believe in global warming. Those against the standards wish to allow the children to form their own opinions on climate change. They address the controversiality of global warming, and do not want to force students into any one belief. The director of science education for the Oklahoma State Department Of Education says that the standards simply educate students about climate change, still allowing various stances on the matter.
This relates to public policy as well as the way that a bill moves through a legislature.
I believe that the new set of standards should be implemented if it is up to par. Climate change, however realistic, is still just a theory, and should be taught as such.
