How do you interpret this bill, specifically in regards to teaching (or not teaching) the scientific process in public schools?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46812points) August 27th, 2014

This is the bill.

This is the statement in question:

”(iii) The standards in science shall be based in core existing disciplines of biology, chemistry, and physics; incorporate grade-level mathematics and be referenced to the mathematics standards; focus on academic and scientific knowledge rather than scientific processes; and prohibit political or religious interpretation of scientific facts in favor of another.”

I’m trying to understand what they’re saying. How can you teach science without scientific process?
