A set of revamped science education standards that would teach US students about evolution, global warming, and clean energy are being held up and rejected in a number of states that have taken issue with what they teach. Wyoming became the first state to reject the new standards, which were devised by a coalition of experts and are completely voluntary, in early May, taking issue with their teaching of evolution and man-made global warming, according to the Associated Press. One Oklahoma rep claimed climate change was still in debate by academicsLast week, a House committee in Oklahoma also began a fight over the standards confirmation by voting to reject them. Though the new standards were approved by the states Department of Education, its legislature may now attempt to overturn that approval, according to KOCO Oklahoma City. Again, the legislators issue appeared to be climate change.
