Letter to the Editor
To the editor: A recent quote from San Antonio Express- News entitled ‘Let’s keep religion out of public schools’ stated: “we are a nation in which people enjoy freedom of religion — any religion — as well as freedom from religion.” Actually, public schools have been forcing religion on kids for decades. Having looked over Minnesota K-12 Academic Standards in Science, I was wondering what they presented as proof for evolution in benchmark 9L.4.1.1.3; specifically item two which says changes in environmental conditions may result in: “the emergence of new species over time.” It references the National Academy of Sciences ‘A Framework for K-12 Science Education.’ citing (LS4.A) ‘Evidence for Common Ancestry’ (section for grade 12), it says genetic information provides evidence of evolution.
