Bias

S.C. State Sen. Mike Fair, "a Greenville Republican is trying to get the state science standards related to evolution rewritten. The standard now calls for students to show that they understand the scientific evidence that "supports" evolution. Fair, a member of the Education Oversight Committee, believes that's teaching a bias in favor of one theory while ignoring others."

That's true, it is a bias, just as teaching the germ theory of disease, is biased against competing theories.

Before you decide that there are no longer any theories competing with germ theory, remember that Pat Robertson says that Sharon suffered a stroke because he divided God's land, and God doesn't like that.

Perhaps we should we begin to train MDs in the Robertson theory of disease just to be fair.
